[QUOTE="rj3292, post: 540696, member: 8475"] Rj3292 I have a S&W 1500 Howa rifle and I rebarreled it with a Douglas Match Grade Barrel, SS, 26". The caliber is in 30-06. The rifle groups inside a dime @ 100yds with 165 gr. Hornady SSt's. I shot two coyotes @ 350 yds that were standing side by side. I also shot a 10 pt. buck two seasons ago that was well over 400 yds. A neck shot to top it off. My opinion, just rebarrel the rifle in 223 with 1-9 or 1-8 twist and you will have an excellent long range varmit rifle. [/QUOTE]
