[QUOTE="RB II, post: 2720222, member: 124418"] I use a Rem 700 varmint 223 for just what you are talking about (varmint hunting as well). 26" barrel, shoots less than .75" groups at 100 yds. I load the 55 grain SGK bullets for mine. It isn't really good beyond 500 yds or so. I also have a 260 Rem rifle that got built wrong with a super heavy barrel on it. Rather than deal with the wrong barrel error and the gunsmith, I just turned it into my dedicated practice rifle. Works pretty well to a good bit beyond 700 and I didn't lose a friend. The recoil from either rifle is negligible and very inexpensive to shoot. [/QUOTE]
