RE: Varmint Rifle Poll..Factory guns only
Vapo, we are going to SD this coming weekend and shooting pdogs. We should meet up there and I could let you shoot a true varmint rifle. I have several mod 12 bull bbl Savages that will shoot a tick off of a pdog at 200 yds. No feeding problems or dependability issues either. Take my challenge; come shoot the king of varmint rifles. I'll buy all the beer that night that you can drink if you can make one of my 6 Savagesjam or not feed properly.

I've been burnt by savage on a 300wsm!!!! So I wont be buying another!!!! BUT I do have a M112 22-250 and it shoots 5 shots of any factory ammo in a nickle size group. No accutrigger...
I hate to say anything good about them after being burnt...
As far as them backing there rifle... They told me 1.56" in my 300wsm was acceptable... Bought a Browning abolt 300wsm shoots under 1 MOA
I'm a lefty so all my new guns will be left hand models... So it looks like Browning for me

1.3" isn't all that bad. If you wanted supreme accurcy then you should have bough a varmit/bench gun. Buying a hunting rifle and then asking it to shoot a 1/2" group at the range seems to be asking a bit much. I am surprised it didn't shoot under one inch though. I don't think there is a company out there that has produced products and had lemons in the bunch. Some guns just flat are not going to shoot.

Mr Longbeard, I hear ya. I too got burned on a Savage, Mine was an 11FNS .308 Accutrigger that was a 1.3" gun on its best days. Never again. If I had to choose amoungst the current crop of factory varminters, I would take a Remington 700 VS SFII. Outstanding accuracy, and possibly the best trigger (for target-varmint work) currently available. With that said, What I would actually do (and did) would be to buy an older used LV or HV bench gun. You'll pay less and get better accuracy.
