[QUOTE="trebark, post: 235753, member: 19172"] I have a Rem 700 SPS Varmint in 223. It has a 1:12 twist barrel and shoots up to 62 grain bullets accurately out to 600 yards. It's awesome on all varmints. I live in Virginia and it's illegal to shoot deer with anything smaller than .224. The 223 is capable is capable of shooting farther than 600 but it requires a faster twist barrel - 1:9 or 1:8 - and 75+ grain bullets. The reason I own my 223 is for my niece. She's 12 and cannot stand recoil. With the varmint barrel on my rifle and scope the rifle weighs 10 pounds. So it has virtually no recoil. [/QUOTE]
