22 250 or 204 ruger

That is well good enough. The 22/250 was tried as a Benchrest cartridge,but could not match the 222rem,which itself had to give way to the PPC. And of course none of these had the legs for target shooting beyond say 300. But accuracy could be pretty good,bearing in mind you get nowhere in Benchrest with groups that are a calibre size centre to centre for 5 shots at 100.that's substantially overlapping,rather than touching. But the 22/250 has remained an outstanding varmint cartridge,one of the very best.And only recently have some others seriously challenged it.No free lunch of course. Gbal

 

Just like to add, a very well respected riflesmith from Derby(sadly no longer with us) by the name of Brian Pybus actually won the British 200yd benchrest championships a good few years ago using a 22-250.
