What he said.
My Varminter AR is a 20" SS 1:8 twist HEAVY barrel. Did I say HEAVY? The lower has a Jewell two-stage adjustable trigger in it. Lower also wears an A2 stock for added LOP. No iron sights; optic is a Nikon Monarch UCC 4-12x40 AO. This rifle is a tack driver. To help steady the rifle I use a Harris BRM-S bipod. My "tactical" rifles are much lighter in weight. They all have 16" chrome-lined barrels. Most of them hae vertical grips, rail systems, lights, 3-point slings, adjustable stocks, standard triggers, etc. |

What's the difference betwen a sniper and a varminter? The name. Aside from the barrel itself, tactical and varminter could have no differences.

Ive seen some ARs that look more like a Star Wars blaster than a rifle.. That would be one difference.
