[QUOTE="Wes Davis, post: 666826, member: 62677"] I am with PRM. A Savage .223 is the only way to go. Savage has a reputation for affordable quality and as mentioned the 'accutrigger' is very nice. .223 rounds are inexpensive. I feel that a .22lr is not enough stopping force. Ideally you want to keep the game from ducking back into a hole after it is hit. A good scope will be very important for your specific scenario and may be a bigger concern than caliber. A head shot with .22lr at 100 yds would certainly take a rabbit/prairie dog instantly. The .223 will give you better range accuracy and a little more stopping power if you miss your head shot.
