Since some posted AR's for Varmint rigs, heres the RR in 223 with a Burris XTR 3x12. I dont really think of it like that though, yea its a varminter but to me seems a real varmint rifle has to have a bolt handle on it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

I also have a Savage BVSS in 223 with a Zeiss 6.5x20 on it, but for some reason dont have a pic of that one.
 
At one time I was also of the opinion that an AR style rifle was not a good choice for a varmint rig. Boy was I wrong. I started hunting with a Rock River Varminter 2 years ago. And now it is my go to rig for short range hunting(under 400 yards). The RR is extremley accurate and follow up shots are a blast. Also the RR stays right on target after the shot. I have shot over 150 ground hogs with my RR over the last 2 years.

I also believe the AR style rifle extends the range of the 223 for ground hogs. IMO 250 to 300 yards is the limit for GH's in a 223. However I have extended that range to 400 yards by being able to deliver a fast double tap. And shooting a double tap is a lot of fun.

I detest crawl offs. And I have very few with the AR. It is simple. Just hit em again.

There are 2 problems with the AR's. 1. A lot of farmers look at you like you are a nut. But then some farmers really like them. 2. Not legal in some states. I almost got arrested in PA. Tom.

I cant remember the model number but its the one for 30mm scope tube, maybe SP-104? It is sweet!

You picked up that 204 from Claimbuster I read a day or so ago? He's a great guy huh! FWIW my Cooper 204 shoots the 39BK real good. Where abouts in Wyoming are ya?

Snowshoe...

That's a nice rig - was it a M70 "Coyote" - the stock looks like one.
