[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1675715, member: 5219"] My favorite walk around varmint rifle is a 7 1/2 lb sporter in 6mm-284 shooting 55 gr nosler ballistic tips @ 4100 fps. You can get similar results with a 243 just a bit slower. Advantage? I shoot coyotes and jackrabbits with the occasional "rock rat". Usually there is little time to range the animal then figure out the compensation with stadia or turrets. The bullet has a very flat trajectory for the 4000 ft elevation I hunt: +.5" @ 100 +.7" @ 150 +.2" @ 200 -1" @ 250 -3" @ 300 -5.8 @ 350 Pretty much point and shoot for the range I encounter these animals. As for barrel life? I could care less as I use Rem 243 takeoffs and rechamber them myself. Here is the rifle which has a Z6 Swaro 2.5-15 x 44 on it now.
