Thanks.

Oh Id imagine a long high powered scope,bull barrel,bipod.Basically a sniper rifle in a smaller calliber like 22 rimfire,17HMR,223,etc for the purpose of killing small game.There are too many calibers to list.

I dont have no hgh speed accurized varmint rifle but my M4 sure does the trick.

Yeah I enjoy my M4 but wanted somthing to reach out at longer ranges. I got the .308 but just don't need that much power for somthings. So thought I would look at the AR varmint rifles. Plus add a little somthing diffrent to the innovatory. The ammo is cheap and easy to find along with the mags. All big pluses.

pick up a 22-250. Accurate as hell, more power than a .223, but less than a .243. If you shop around, you should be able to find a reasonbly priced heavy barrel model. (I actually passed on a trade-in used Savage heavy barrel varmint with a harris bipod at Gander Mtn. for $350. looked new, but I'm a lefty and would rather have a lefty bolt action.)

I have a Bushmaster Varmiter rifle. It has a 24 inch fluted barrel, 6x24 scope and its 223 of course...Very accurate rifle.....When everyone else was breaking clays at 200 yards I was rolling them over and not busting them......hehe..

I use a .308 I don't want wait for it to die I want see it !!! LMAO

Pogo · 04-02-2006, 02:58 PM

I posted a pic of my long distance rifle in another thread. I'll just post it again. It's in 25-06 and will really reach out and touch something, real far away.

Cephus · 04-02-2006, 03:07 PM

Ya can beat a 25-06 for knock down and speed ,alot of guys around here use them for deer huntin . These things are very good ,but I like the bullet selection on the .308 I can go from 110gr all the way up to 240gr this gives me a wide selection and it can be used for just about anything ya want !!
But I do love them single shot RUGERs and that is a fine weapon !!!

Moonshiner loves his 22-250 for varmits. It is a great shooter. His is a Remington 700.

I like my Savage 110fp in .300WinMag for varmits

I like BIG HOLES in what ever I shoot!

Well if I like big holes, there has to be a reason

ACOG · 04-03-2006, 01:22 AM

Dam Magnus is there any coon or critter left after hitting it with a 300mag? What do you use a 50BMG on deer?:p I got a Remi 700 in .308 for deer and other things of size. Plus a M1A SOCOM 16 for hogs and other critter in confined bush type places. But was thinking the varmint AR would be a nice reach out and touch for other targets of distance. Plus wouldnt have to worry about over penetration with the .223.

Jack rabbits get turned pretty much inside out by the mighty .300.
