I'm building on right now for a short range varmint rifle, I think it be fun.
What bullet(s) are you considering for it. I thought about having a rifle chambered in it but what stopped me was bullet selection.

I can.t for the life of me figure out why you would want to. So much re-coil and limited range even if you are really good at reading wind. Assuming you are going to twist it and throat it for PB bench rest bullets. Ther are many better choices out there.any one ever use this for groundhogs

The barrel Im having installed is a Brux #4, 1 in 17. I was going to call Randy over at BIB bullets when the time came and get his opinion. I think he's been down this road before. I was also looking at the Nosler 110s or the Hornady Vmax 110s. I've never met anybody who actually shot yotes with a 30br, met a lot of guys who thought it would be fun. The 30br info page on this site has some good info and suggest thoughts of a varmint rifle. I'll let you know when I get it back, if you want me to, how things progress.
Shot a few c-dogs with mine - out to 400Yd., DRT. Same for prairie dogs and rock-chucks . . oh, and deer - for the latter, it beats the bejabbers out of a 30/30!Probably not the ideal choice, but none the less, effective. For the rodents, a rangefinder, reliable scope, and a little wind reading make longer hits not all that unlikely. RG
