Buy it with confidence. The RRA Varminter is quite a tack driver, especially if you handload. This rifle is easily capable of dime sized groups at 100 yards, and at 200 yards on a good day.
IMO, this is one of the best (if not the best) non custom varminter out there. Mine is my favorite gun (20"). |

I do handload. I'm considering one with a Zeiss Conquest with the 1:8 twist. I was looking at 1:12 but figure if I ever want to shoot at 300 and beyond I'll want the heavier bullets.
Thx for the info. Almost not worth handloading for 100yd stuff (it isn't actually) but for work beyond that... |

You'll love it since you handload, especially if you use the heavier bullets. The 1/8 rocks with the 75 and 77 grain bthp bullets, especially with RL-15 or Varget behind them.
Sure beats the match factory stuff too. Cost about 50% less than the black hills I believe. |

Excellent. Armalite likes to laud their quality, which they certainly have at least some right to do. Not trying to start a brand war. I'm wondering if the increase in barrel life from chrome-lining is worth the penalty in accuracy - if there is such a thing.
What would bbl life be, given moderately hot loads? Chrome vs stainless steel? |
