Skinny,
It is just like any other heavy varmint rifle. Great, as long as you don`t have to carry it around. It would make a great PD rifle if you get into a place where you could just keep shooting.

well this is late but maybe it will help someone in the future

order it in halves, order the upper sent to your house and have your ffl order a NM lower, saves ya 12%. adco is a good place to order, prices are really reasonable.
Skinny now ya need a wssm upper so's ya can deer hunt with your black rifle. you did get the 8 twist didn't ya? try ultramax reman ammo, it shoots in the .2's pretty often from my 24" 8 twist RRA varminter.

Its here.
Picked up the rifle last night at the Big C on the hill.
Not too bad weight-wise and am pleased with the green furniture and bead blasted SS barrel.
Am now saving up points for a 4.5-14 or 6.5-20 Leupold.

Ridge Runner I did get the 8 twist. Can't hunt yet with semi's in this state but I think its inevitable.
Looking to try some heavy bullets at distance and need to get educated on loading for an auto.

And of course this rifle won't get blooded till I can get to another state that allows semi's...
Heard Maryland allows them, hmmm.

Sure glad I ordered it when I did. Wait times are now about 12 weeks.

congrats skinny, your varminter is chambered in 223 wylde, its a generously cut 223 chamber with .619 leade, so it'll run anything from 50-80 grains and you don't need small base dies, they may work fine just neck sizing, it'll really shine single fed with 75 gr a-max loaded to the max. mine shoots ultr-max reman 55 gr sp's very well.
try the BH's 69 gr smk, they work well in most wylde's.
