How did I know you were going to say that;)

For a lightweight walking varmint rifle I would have to choose Tikka.

For a heavier weight varmint gun I would have to choose Rock River Arms.....Its not on the list though :(

Now that is a give me. Cooper builds the most accurate varmint rifle.



Cooper combines style/craftsmenship/elagance and extreme accuracy in building their rifles and unlike like most of the rest they offer 1/2 moa accuracy Guaranteed. All their rifles come with a test target and most if not all are wayyyyyy below 1/2"....have seen mostly one holers;)

I have very limited experience, but I will go with savage.

I just read a head to head test between Savage, Sako, Ruger and NEF. The Savage finished first, The NEF second, the Ruger third and the Sako fourth. All of course were darn good shooters but for the average guy to buy and for top notch accuracy, Savage would be at the top IMO. The Accu-trigger put the nail in the coffin lid for most other varmit rifles. The NEF Ultra Varmit is the king of low price varmits riflesand on average will shoot 1/2 inch or better. This for under 300.00 bucks.

My Ruger .223 M77 Mk II standard will shoot .5 MOA. The only thing I did to it was put a Timney trigger on it.

This one is a lot easier to pick from as the requirements are much simpler than a big game rifle.......

The requirements are accuracy and strength (Varmint rounds are mostly hi pressure rounds).......People normally don't care about looks or style as they are overwhelmingly a accuracy focused item.
Not only does Savage do this but changing barrels is a lot easier with them as well......if you want to use a 25-06 today and a 22-250 tomorrow you can do this.

This market belongs to Savage hands down.......and they've earned it.....
