How about a vx-111 6.5x20x40 long range (30mm tube) with varmint hunter reticle used for 500 (bought one this week) send it in and have the m1 knobs put on for 130.....630 total......1/2 the cost of a nf.........Is the nf twice as good for varmints?
Thanks everyone . Decided to go with the standard 22/243 with a lilja ss#5, 8 twist, savage single shot target action, not sure about the stock probably a stockade.........
