A 222 Remington

[SuperCub]

what about your yukon .375 taylor?

That's up there too, but I don't have any real need for a med bore stopper. My 300H&H will do just fine for that.

I wonder if Johnn ever did shoot that 375.

You must have access to a lot of land , that is a lot of badgers. Are they all headshots?

Love the 222 Rem. I've always had one in my safe and always will. My first rifle was an old Savage 340. My current 222 is a Sako A1 sporter. Long live the Triple Deuce.

I currently have this .222 Remington for sale on EE.

Today I hunted maybe 3 sections of mixed gopher pasture/crop land.
Most are headshots because that’s what you see sticking out of the hole, or the grass. The white face makes a nice target. The 40 vmax really works well. There is an audible thwap on a hit. All of one shot kills, no runners except for the one that got it first in the nose, needed a second but still never left it’s mound.

That is impressive shooting.

Thats some serious badger tally you have right there on the tailgate.
Obviously they are well fed and the lands must almost be over run with them,lol.
Ever see those guys who catch badgers by hand ?
Congrats and thanks for sharing the days events with pics.

Thanks Rob.
Last week I reached down a hole to pull a dead one out. And there was another one, fully live and hissing at me below it. I’m sure I wouldn’t go out of my way to touch a live one with anything other then a bullet. Those guys catching them with blankets are nuts. Crazy video alright.

Those are incredible. Amazing stocks. Don’t see 22 cal Safaris everyday.

Thanks. I have a heavy and pencil weight in 22-250 as well. They shoot too. your 222 seems like quite a treat.

Heavy barrel varmint rifles are my favourite. They seem to hold on small targets easier.

Another day varminting with a Sako 222. Started with a nice raven then hit a badger patch.

Would have loved to see the feathers fly from that Raven
The Badgers too would be impressive to see the bullet do its job.
