    20 Tactical. Built on a Tikka 595 Continential Varminter. True Flite Ultra Match barrel, Gunworks supressor. Now has a Swarovski Z6 2.5-15x44 scope on it, scope sits much lower as I have got rid of the rail and used low Optilocks instead. I like it a lot... Factory Lapua brass available (via Dakota), mine pushes out 40gr vmax's at just under 4k fps using 26gr of powder...

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    Steyr Provarmint does the business as my "varmint" rifle - usually use the .243 (and lately the .44 Mag) though

    Keep umming and arring about selling it, its a very nice thing but doesn't get out nearly enough?

    Really like it. Brilliant glass, good reticle for what I'm using it for (BR-1 I think it is). Nice zoom range for varminting 0-450m. Had initially bought it for another rifle that I was going to dial a bit, but decided to get something a bit more reliable for that. Bought it from Euro Optic, was a demo unit. A Z5 3.5-18 would be a nice choice to I reckon (for a varminter thats not going to dial)

    G'Day Fella's,

    Here is some images of my purpose built Long Range varminter, "Hopper Stopper".
    It is based on an old Rem 700 that has been completely trued and squared up, then had the action sleeved.
    It has a re-worked Remington 700 trigger that has been converted to a 3 lever design and breaks at 2 ounces.
    It is set up as a switch barrel rifle, so you can have a series of barrels (and bolts), that will fit the one action.

    At the time these images were taken, the only barrel I had for it, was a Maddco, #7 in .22-250AI (tight neck), with a 1-14" twist.

    Here is an image, showing it being used to hit the occasional Rodent, at a series of warrens amongst the Gum trees, at around 500 meters
    All the gunsmith work, was done by John Giles of www.pseco.com.au many years ago.

    This rifle is so accurate, if I miss what I'm aiming at, I'm not able to blame the rifle!!!

    Doh!

    Homer what barrel length, pills and speed where you getting in that 22 250 AI 1-14 twist?
    Have you ever tried a fast twist barrel on your 22 250AI?
    1000yds is fun, 1500yds is getting interesting, 2000yds is exciting, 2500yds will blow your mind

    G'Day Terminator,

    It has a 26" barrel and no, I've only ever used this 1-14" barrel.
    As I wrote elsewhere on this forum, in hindsight, I believe the .243Win would be a better Long Range (and further), varmint caliber!

    Please find attached, an image of one of the targets I shot, after running in the barrel.
    This is what I call, a Maximum Safe Working Load (MSWL), in this rifle

    It is capable of more velocity but when even I can shoot groups like this, well............
    As you can see, this rifle does shoot, I only wonder what it is actually capable of, as I'm no BR shooter!!!

    Hope that helps

    Doh!
    Homer
