Well as some of my previous threads state, I am looking for a varmint target gun. So far, the three that are most in my mind (going from most liked to least) are: 1. Remington XR-100 .22-250 2. Remington VLS .22-250 or .243 3. Remington 700 LVSF .22-250.
These guns will most be used for paper punching, and (hopefully) some gophers. I am moving soon and my neighbors have open land that stretches for about 1000 yards. And one day while leaving my place I saw some type of animal that at first I thought was a beaver, but since there is no water, I thought it must be a gopher. Anyways, the range I will be using it is no more that about 600 yards or so.
I really like the look/feel of the XR and have heard really good reviews on the rifle. The VLS is really appealing to me, but I know (or atleast hope) if I spend the extra $100 on the XR that accuracy will be better. The LVSF is also very attractive to me, but I don't like how light it is (yea wierd I know right ). I like the heavier, more stable feel of what I think a varmint rifle actually should be. I think the heavier weight will help me not drift as much when pulling the trigger.
Please post some pics of your varmint guns to give me an idea. Also ANY input on ANY of the these gun, personal or just reviews, would be VERY much appreciated.
Thanks,
Auburn
