Thread: just Varminting - how far was your longest shot on your last walk

2nd CF Varmint rifle was a big step up from the .222 - same class of cartridge but a WildCat, the .22 VarTarg Turbo, an Improved .222Rem, 30 degree shoulder with a shorter neck ( neck turned )
a heavy Shilen fluted barrel in a heavy thumbhole stock ( Fajen ), blueprinted action, M16 extractor, worked trigger - the whole package just works for me.
some would not like the weight of the rifle as a walkabout but that has never bothered me.
with the Sako i had hits out to just over 300yrds, with the VarTarg i went out to 400yrds with the same 50grn. VMax, both rifles have 6.5-20 Leupolds
