[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 670176, member: 30902"] Any of the above would work well for you. If it were me though I'd go with .260 rem instead of .308 however. Faster, flatter, and lots of great high BC bullets in the 120-140gr range by a multitude of manufactuers for every application you can think of. Also you have the advantage of even less recoil with the .260 vs .308. For me one of the key factors in varmint hunting is velocity and the .308 simply cannot compare with the .260 for velocities. More often than not, for me varmint shots come down to split seconds and even a fraction less flight time can help make the difference between a hit and a miss or a clean kill vs wounding. Someone over at Sniper's hide has a Sako varmint model in .260 listed that I'd absolutely love to have if I could figure out a way to get it bought right now. [/QUOTE]
