[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 476250, member: 25383"] I've seen more than one retired bench rest rifle rejuvenated into a fine varmit rig. I knew of one chambered in .222 (yes that old) that the guy bought for the action alone (really cheap). Did a barrel set back and promptly shot mid ones with it. The rifle was about a half pound too heavy for light varmit shooting, but was a killer for P.D.'s. When he got done he had less than $1000 in the rig without sights. I might add here that it also came with the chamber reamer and two sets of dies! (.222 Remington +.050" with a 30 degree shoulder an .012" taper in the body). I wish I'd bought it, but was a day late and a dollar short! gary [/QUOTE]
