i would use a 338 edge with a 300gr SMK!!

or to be a little more cost affective a 308win with 180 or 190 bullet

i would like to try a 204 ruger sometime i think 700 yards would be a little stretch though

I like my 243. Little recoil and very accurate. I shoot 87 vmax's. I also like the 444 marlin for rabbits. Might be a bit small.

My 6mmAI it's scary accurate and fast to boot. With an 87gr Hor there is ample power to 700yds.

I don't like using my longer range varmit rifles for those shot under 300/400yds. Depending on conditions(wind) above 400 yds I might use a 6RemAI and it gets into 600yds or more I'll use a 6.5x284.

243 is a great long range varmint round - fast with low recoil I use a 243AI with 105 Amax's, but the 87's are good as well.

A fast twist 22-250 like what Savage offers would also be an excellent long range varmint round. Shooting 55's and 75's you'd have it all covered.

300 Winmag shooting the 125 gr. BT. Way too much fun on pds. To save on the barrel I only use it past 400 yds.

For closer shooting I use the 204 with 40 gr. Bergers, 243 and 70 gr. Speer HPs and the good old 22-250 with Sierra 1330 or 1360 sp. For walking around the 223 and 40 gr. Sierra HPs.
