About to purchase my first varmint type shooter. Been shooting deer of several types for 25 plus years just never got into the smaller centerfire stuff.
Boiled the cartridge down to 223 or 22-250 but uncertain on the choice of "base hardware." Glass for me is strictly Nikon. Just finished rigging and getting familiar with a 116FCSS Accustock, Accutrigger in 25-06 so I am familiar with Savage Weather Warrior. Despite my pleasure with the out of the box service of the Savage, I've got to admit to being partial to laminated wood stocks and stainless actions. I also think highly of the Remington 700 series. I'm not sure I want to live with the nine pound combination of bull barrel and beaver tail stock.
I plan to shoot mostly inside 400 yards and I plan to spend 600 - 800 on the rifle alone.
Opinions please, thanks in advance.
