Cooper Montana Varminter in 223 AI. Leupold VX-3 with varmint hunters reticle. Good for 500 yards but the little 40 grain Blitzkings really start to lose energy that far out. MV is 3800 fps.
I have another almost identical Cooper but in 243 AI for the longer shots. I should take a pic.
In fact, my pickups license plate is reflective of those two rifles also.
The old picture was from when I first got it, here it is after some serious work with Hoppes #9. (taken down by the the Missouri River, today, after about 700 rounds).
Took the scope off because its busted and the irons are really user friendly anyway.
i use this on old coyotes, the youger ones prefer to be shot with something a little more modern.
columbian fn mauser action, 220swiftAI, old fajen beavertail stock and a weaver k6 with a litschert 12x targeteer booster.
Savage 93BTVS .22Mag, in a Boyds Evo stock. Nikon BuckMasters 4.5-14X40, Burris Zee rings on a DIP base. Glass bedded action, DIP trigger guard and mag plate, 14 oz. trigger.
Savage MKII BV in a Boyds Evo stock. Simmons 44Mag 6-24X44 scope, Burris sig. Zee rings on a DIP 25MOA base, with -10 ring inserts to yield 15 MOA.
Glass bedded action, Dip trigger guard and mag plate, 12 oz. trigger.
Savage MKII G in a Savage(Boyds) BV stock. Bushnell Banner 6-18X50 Dusk and Dawn scope on an IronSighter base and Weaver Grand Slam rings.
Barrel shortened 2", action pillar and glass bedded, DIP mag plate, 14 oz. trigger.
I love My Savages.
All we have around here is crows, but this Sako .222 Mag does the job. I recently replaced the old 6X18 Redfield Golden 5 Star scope with a 6.5X20 Vortex Viper.
Ruger M77 Varmint .220 Swift with Nikon Monarch 6.5-20x 44mm and Remington 700 LVSF .17 Rem. with Weaver V-16 UFCH 4-16x 42mm. Both will shoot better than 3/4 MOA at 200 yards under field conditions (Bipod, sitting with elbows on knees). Most of the areas I shoot varmints aren't conducive to prone with the tall grass, which is why they both sport longer bipods than most use on varmint guns.
Got a few varmint rigs but this one is my favorite! R700 VS 22-250, Leupold VarixIII 6.5-20x50, nice 1" groups at 300yrds 3" low from my 200yrd zero....
