What are members thoughts on the benefit of a varmint barrel?
My scenario.....
Looking to buy a .223....
I know I want stainless
What I cant decide is if a varmint barrel is worth the extra dollar
Rifle to be used as an out an out pest control tool......mostly at night with nv, so sensible ranges of out to say 200yrds with 55grainers
Will I really get better accuracy from a varmint barrel at these ranges?
The extra weight of the varmint is not an issue as shooting is done from a vehicle or high seat
Fired a tikka super varmint the other day and was impressed with the accuracy but I haven't had the chance to compare it to a tikka with sporter barrel
Cheers
