My choice: .223, heres why * MUCH less noise * low recoil makes it possible to keep your eye on the target during and after the shot, particularly nice with a semi-auto for a quick 2nd shot - that is if you were ever to miss :) * Ammo is relatively cheap and definiately readily available. Ammo is also smaller and ligher - somthing to consider if you are carrying a hundred rounds in your pockets on the prarie. * While it is not as capable in the long range game, I have consistantly taken prarie dogs at 400 yds and more with the .223.
The .22-250 is also a very popular varmint cartidge, just not my choice. Perhaps if I wasnt using it primarily for prarie dogging I would have a different opinion.
As far as Savage is concerned, 2nd to none in out of box accracy: pillar bedded actions and good triggers go a long way to improving accuracy. Just not as "pretty" as a Reminton 700.
