I got myself one of these about two years ago, just love it. It is very accurate, it likes hand loads as the chamber is long (5.56 NATO). It has never failed to feed, fire, eject or anything. It's well made and reliable IMO. If you are looking for a gun to do some long range shooting with it's a good choice, if your just looking to burn lots of ammo with I wouldnt get the Varminter. The barrel isn't chrome lined and that reduces life but ups the accuracy. I'm sure others will chime in soon. If you have any other ?'s about this feel free to IM me if you'd like. DD |

I've pretty much decided to get one of these as well. What prices are you finding out there? They seem to be backordered like everything else. The best price I can find is about $1015+tax although I did get a quazi quote from Sportsman's Warehouse in the low-mid $900s . He said that was what the last one he had sold for kind of implying that the prices were going up. I got on the list anyway... I don't mind paying a fair price but done want to pay 1000 rounds worth extra either. Any price info would help. I'm planning on putting a Leupold VXIII 6.5X20 Varmint Recticle on it. Anyone have one of these. Its there a better or equivalent set up for less $? |

All right, I'm the fella who always whines about his varminter, so I'll try to refrain this time. My advice is: If you're going to buy one, look it over CLOSELY, in DETAIL!!! It appears that the barrel nut on mine IS bearing on the gas tube. Since I don't own the tools to do it myself, I'm taking it in next week to get that taken care of. Hopefully that will finally get it running properly. They're not cheap, so take your time and look it over. Robert |
