Varmint Rifle weight

[Inukshuk]

I just found one thing I don't like about the savage. No floor plate. Load from the top and extract from the top is not something I'm interested in. Oh Well.

Well after discussions on other forums as well, plus some gun smiths, I've pretty well decided on this set-up.

CZ 550 Kevlar 22-250 and probably with the new IOR Scope 3-18x44-35mm tube with illum MP8 reticle.
I feel better with the heavier one, plus a few other reasons. Now to get some $$$

When choosing a varmint rifle based on weight, one must decide how the rifle is to be used. A walkabout rifle can turn out to be a bad choice if it is heavy, whereas a heavy rifle is fine for static benchrest-type shooting. I carry heavy BR rifles for walk-and-sit shooting, but I don't recommend planning to walk a long distance with a heavy rifle. But again, it is strictly up to the shooter.

A buddy of mine bought the Winchester coyote in 243 and it shot very well out of the box.
