I've got the varmitter in 22-250. Haven't made it to the bench yet, but it does OK in the field, course haven't tried a shot over 150 yards yet either but I have faith. My old #1 in 280 with a handload shot a 3 shot group at 100 yards of .345. I am not a benchrest shooter and only know those guys shoot clover leafs all day. But if I can do it with mine surely good shots like those guys could make any #1 speak. Course I am a fan of the #1 and a bit biased. I will be watching this post with interest. Glad you asked.
