[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 2183150, member: 78438"] groundhogs= high volume shooting most of the time. Rick Richard has it right on this one. .223 is very capable of 500 yard shooting The Tikka t3x stainless varmint would be a good choice, though you would have to have the barrel threaded (no big deal) 1:8 twist should handle pretty much anything you want. I would expect to this to be close to a 1/2" rifle with the right factory ammo, and would be surprised to not get a true 1/2" rifle with hand loads. I'd look for some 69-77gr ammo, but wouldn't pass on anything in this market. [/QUOTE]
