Well, I must say I do like my varmint guns. A while back I won a Savage .17 HMR with the heavy barrell in a raffle, and fell in love with the little high velocity hell raiser.
I have been looking for another varmint gun to add to the collection, and been eyeballing a Browning .223 WSSM a-bolt with a 24 inch heavy chrome-lined barrell.
I was intrigued by this somewhat odd WSSM cartridge (Winchester Super Short Magnum), which throws a 55g bullet downrange at 3800 fps.
So, I took the plunge and bought the sucker along with a leupold 3-10x scope to put on it, and a bipod.
It took a couple of weeks to stop raining, got it to the range this morning. Used Winchester 55g Silver. Has a little kick to it. 1.0 inch pattern at 100 yds.
I think I'll keep it.
