[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 191688, member: 4557"] Agunner012, Yes, I had the rifle built and it should be completed late March early April. I have talked to a couple of guys who own the 300 Varminter, and I actually got to meet one of the guys and go shoot his. All I can say, after shooting his rifle, WOW! His 300 Varminter was pushing the 125grn BT at 4000+fps, I believe it was 4025fps to be exact. I have also talked to other gentlemen who own one and they have all reported the 300 Varminter is a bad *** rifle for varminting out to around 1000 yards. They also said the rifle will shoot groups in the .1's and .2's at 100 yards if you do your part. All of these gentlemen are serious varmint hunters. They all said they varmint hunt at ranges from 50 to 1000 yards with the majority of their long range varminting being done from 400 to 800 yards . They all said they either use V-Max, Ballistic Tip or Blitzkings for varminting. They all had one favorite varmint rifle for shooting from 400 to 800 yards before they had a 300 Varminter built. Here is what rifle and bullet they used before they had a 300 Varminter; 1. 243AI with 70grn Ballistic Tip. 2. 6mm Remington with 70grn Ballistic Tip 3. 6mmAI with 75grn V-Max 4. 6x284 with 70grn V-Max They all told me the 300 Varminter is now their all around favorite varmint rifle and puts their old favorites to shame. As soon as I receive mine, I will do my own range report. However, all the reports from those who are already shooting one, are reporting awesome performance and accuracy. Look at Richard's Custom Rifle web page, and you can read about the 300 Varminter. I talked to him today, and he said his orders have doubled for the 300 Varminter set up. The word is getting out about this set up and serious varmint hunters, who can afford one, are catching on. Richard, also told me he has had many people call him and question him about how he got the 300 Varminter to work. He tells them the same thing, it took many days, months, barrel and twist rate combos, ect to get it to work just right. The 300 Varminter has performed so well that 6mmBR.com wrote an article about the 300 Varminter. The article is called "Franklin's 4000fps 30-Cal Varminter Is A Hit With Hunters" I think this alone is a testament to Richards new rifle and how it performes. I don't think anyone needs to hear from me about how it performes, if 6mmBR.com writes about it, that is prove that it is performing well and has become a favorite among varmint hunters. Like I said, if your thinking about having a varmint rifle built, and you want it built by a top notch gunsmith, seriously look at Richard Franklin. W. [/QUOTE]
