Favorite Varmint Rifle Pics Please!

[David Milisock]

This rifle was a great, a kit gun, I have $325 in the entire rig, Howa 1500 in 223 shoots a 40 grain Hornady moly coated at 3,900 FPS. I only want head shots on chucks and I shoot crows in moderate wind good to 350 yards. Shoots 1 1/8" groups at 300 yards in low to zero wind.

This is an old but goody, 700 Remington BDL in 6MM Remington, shoots 1 1/16" groups at 300 yards. Nice for chucks at 500 yards if you want head shots. Shoots 75 grain Hornady moly coated at 3,900 FPS.

Here's an AR in Delta configuration for close work, using M193 and iron sights regular 200 yard chuck body shots. A scope and 68 grain Hornady you can do head shots at 200 easy, if it's calm you can eek out a head shot at 300.

My pet varmint rig .308 Rem 700 Smithed by O D C Rifles (WSMNUT). Shoots great @ 100 yds. but have not had a chance to stretch it out yet.

Very nice...how close is your 243AI to a 6mm Creedmoor?

Thank you all for posting some very fine rifles! I have a passion for Varmint Guns, and as a hobby machinist it helps me get some really good ideas on what to build. Would love to hear if anyone has a .25 cal gun. Sure wish there were more bullets available. .25BR Ackley or would it be better to move up to 6.5mm? The larger diameter bullets seem to hit much harder, even with less energy.

Sweet, put a brake on that bad boy and watch them explode. Shot a few with brothers .308 this weekend, it has an bit more recoil than I remember.

Great fun, and ample protection from a rabid coke can invasion.

Since I have never owned or shot a 6 Creed, I can only speculate. According to Sierra published data I'm getting approx. 120fps more velocity with my AI with outstanding accuracy. I'm guessing they are very close so I don't see a creed in my future.

Just picked this up from a member here. It's a Rem 700 6mm C M 26 " barrel with a 1 - 10 Twist. Previous owner said it was grouping 1/4 inch @ 100 yds. with 80 gr. Nosler B T.

UPDATE 07/12/20 Shot the rifle today with 55 and 70 gr Nosler B T s. Both groups were sub - 3/8 " @ 100 yds. shooting from the bi-pod and rear bag.

Below group was the 4th 5th and 6th shot out of the rifle for me.
