I saw an article in a magazine that made me wonder a bit about this subject. It was something about varmint rifles and centerfire .22s.
How heavy of a rifle/light of a cartridge would you need to see the bullet impact in your scope? Does anyone have any thoughts, opinions, or experience here? I'm talking the riflescope never losing sight of the target due to recoil; you wack the hostile prarie dog (or other target) and see where the bullet went and what happened.
Lets avoid the obvious answer, "a 30 pound .22 Long rifle" :wink:
The article also opined that with today's bullets and glass, the .223 was a capable 500 yard varmint cartridge, I know this will probably raise some eyebrows. Let's hear it gents.
