What rifles you guys running for varmint hunting?

[Prairie]

Savage 112 Heavy barrel varmint in .22-250, Remington 700 in .22-250, Custom Varmint Mauser with Flaig Barrel/action in .220 Swift and Savage 110 Varmint in .204 Ruger. Every one a "Tack Driver" and lots of fun to shoot!

My Go-To "critter-getters", have been a custom .222 Rem. on a Small Martini, and a 6mm Rem. on a small-ring Mauser. The BSA has a Hart stainless barrel, and the 6, has a Douglas barrel. Both with early Simmons scopes, each weighs approx. 9 lbs. Both were built by Bob Fowler, who was a benchrest shooter, in the KY, TN, area, and later a head maintenance machinist, at the Livermore Rad. Labs, in Livermore.

Love that Martini... I had one many years ago with a 12x Unertl on it in 219 Zipper a fantastic combo wish I still owned it, and hope the guy that has it now has as much fun as I did. Cheers..... nice rigs! old school.

204, 17 hornet , 22 long rifle and shotgun when applicable, all get the job done.

.22LR
.17HM2
.17HMR
.17FB
.20VT
.204R
.222
.223
.22-250

I've used them all on various hunts. Nothing beats the small calibers when the action gets hot. Confirmed kill at 500 yards with the .17FB so not lacking for reach either.

Been a few years since I've gone and I really miss it.

Seems I cant get enough varmint guns and calibers and currently shoot a 20 Vartarg, 20 Tactical and a 223. The 20's go West with me every year for my annual prairie dog safari. I shoot Coopers.

Sako L46 222, Sako 243, Ruger M77 22-250

The old Remington 788 and 22 250

 

[SLAYIN'SWEDE]

REM Model 7 in 20 VarTarg w/PacNor 24"
Savage 12FV in 20 Practical w/X-caliber 24"
Savage 12FV in 20 PPC w/Shilen 24"
Savage 12FV in 22-250 w/Savage 26" 12 twist
Savage 12FV in 22-250 w/Criterion 16" 9 twist
They're all repeaters and fantastic shooters. I think it might be time to add a 22 Creedmoor to the stable…

I have more than one & this one is sort of a general purpose rifle. It's a 6.5 Creedmoor, McGowen 8 twist. At the range, up to 1,000, I shoot 140 Barnes Match Burners. I also pack along some ammo loaded with 95 grain Hornady VMax (IMR8208). I rezero at 200 at the range using the 95 VMaxes when finished with the 140's and go off to shoot rodents with 95's. The rifle is a Ruger MKII. Scope is a Sightron 4-20X50 S-TAC with a MOA2 reticle. I just love that .25 MOA dot. Good for distant round targets & rodents in less than good light. I also pack along a Rem 700 .22-250, 7.7 twist 75 ELDM's & Ruger MKII .20P, 11 twist 40 VMax. The .224 75 ELDM's do surprisingly well at long range & at rodents.
