Rem Model 600 in .222 is light, handy, and scary accurate.
The little Sako's with the palm swell in 17 Rem or 6PPC are probably my favorite factory walking varminter. |

Cooper Classic model 21 chambered in 223 Rem. Leupold 4-12x40mm scope with LR dots. As pictured it weights just under 7-1/2 lbs I could drop another 3 ounces or so by going to lighter rings but it balances and handles so well that it is unlilkely anything I will ever change on it. It shoots 5-shots into 1/2" at 100 yards with its favorite load and it handles and balances so well that I rarely miss with it. This is the one that always goes with me. Except when bench shooting I use a buttsock ammo carrier that holds 9 rounds, while not quite as fast to reload from as a magazine I can do it pretty quickly, and it is rare that I need a second shot when using it anyway.

I am also a big fan of the Rem 700 LVSF, they have a good balance and feel to them and the couple I have owned were easily sub-MOA with loads they like. If you were interested in more a budget build then consider a Rem 700 SPS sporter in 223 (Walmart or other places at around $379) then find a take-off LVSF for another $100 or so and put together a faux LVSF. I have done a couple like that and it made for a good handling, reasonably accurate outfit.
A 223 is my cartridge of choice because the low-recoil allowing spotting ones own hits/misses. drover |

CZ 527 Kevlar (M1 bottom metal without the ears) with 3-round flush magazine chambered in 223. All around good round, rifle is light and stock is durable. Couple of spare 5-round magazines in my pocket.

That is one I was thinking about too, except with Jackson Varmint style stock. A Model 38 or 21 with the sporter contour barrel should weigh about 6.5 pounds without the scope. Here is a picture online of what I am thinking about: |

I have a 57M in 22 LR in the Jackson Hunter stock, to me the Classic stock is a bit faster handling and quicker to get behind. If you have a chance to handle both styles you may find that you favor one over the other, they are both good but in different ways - I can't quite put my finger on a good verbal description of the difference except to say that it is the cheekpiece more than anything else. i guess I would have to say that the Jackson Hunter is my preference for off-hand but for all-around the Classic is my favorite.

Got a pencil barrel Safari grade in .222. Put a current 6X on it and that's all I could ask for.

Great thought. I have been down that road before with an XP-100 in 221 Fireball and 7mm BR, an XP-100R in 260 Remington, and a Freedom Arms single shot in 7mm BR. They are great too carry, but hard to use in the field.
