Today I sat glassing the hay fields looking for a groundhog. Came up dry. Figured I would because it was very windy.
I carried with me a 30 year old Remington 700 BDL Varmint Special in .22-250 wearing a 4-16 scope.
It was loaded with a 55 gr Hornady SPBT over 35 gr of Varget. The load chronographed 3400 fps. Not the fastest, but very accurate. It should be easy on the barrel. The gun will shoot 5 shots at 100 yards that you can cover with a dime.
