Wanting to purchase a new Varmint rifle for long range varmint shooting at the local club. Looking for suggestions on Manufacturer, model, barrel length, and also what caliber. This is my first adventure with Varmint rifles, so any help or advise would be a great help. I want to stay with a factory rifle, and I do reload.....

I don't have any firsthand experience, but great things have been said about savage. Check their website and you can see what they have for varmint guns.

I just got a 204, but wished I would have stayed with 22-250. I also put it together in an encore, and for a varmit gun wished I would have just went with a bolt.

I myself would consider a savage heavy barrel if I had it to do over.

I don't think you could go wrong with a Ruger, Savage, Remington, Browning, Tikka, etc.

We need to know a budget in order to better help you out. How much do you want or willing to spend on the rifle, scope, etc.

What kind of Varmints will you be shooting?

The 243 Win. or 6 MM Rem. should work well for your application but the 243 would be a better choice if you do not reload...

Would like to stay around $500 for the rifle. I already have a Super Snipper scope I plan to use.

The Savage with the accutrigger as previously mentioned would be a good choice but I’m not sure what they sell for in the states... www.savagearms.com

I seen used varmit guns sell for 1100$ + at the gun dealers...And this was with a cheap scope mounted on it....I don't think you could get a new heavy barrel gun for under 1000$... I won my 6mm in a raffel and it's worth over 1500$

goodness gracious smokeman, what kinda guns where they???? I bought a tack drivin 223 for 300 dollars. I outfitted a encore for under 400. You can get a savage for under 600 dollars.
