[QUOTE="acloco, post: 380513, member: 6137"] Built a 222 Mag AI expressly for the purpose of a "walking varminter". Seems like all of the other rifles I built had varmint weight barrels, heavier stocks, and big scopes on them. So, I set out to build something I could actually carry. Already owned the 223 AI reamer, so I just ran it a bit deeper. Light varmint/heavy sporter 1:8 twist Shilen Select Match stainless barrel Duramax stock (light, but somewhat stiff) Leupold 6-18x40 with turrets and fine crosshairs (enough power to see, thin crosshairs to not block the critter, and definetly lightweight) Necked up 204 Ruger brass to 22 caliber and use 80 gr AMax's at 3150 (after fireforming) to reach out as far as you want.
