I am looking for a rifle to use for both a target rifle and a varmint rifle. the range i shoot at is 200 yrds so that would be the most for target shooting,varmint shooting i would shoot farther once i know my gun. I dont know what caliber i should get? I live in iowa where it can get windy and its fairly wide open so that is a factor. I also want to get into reloading. I thought about getting a cooper rifle but i figure why ruin a good gun learning to shoot far distances and reloading, So i think i may be a remington.I want a gun with good barrel life too. Any sugestions would help

thanks

scott
