what do you guys thing i should get for varmit hunting. a 20 inch barrel or a 24 inch barrel. in .223.

Retaks

It all depends. I would personally go with the 24". Most varmint hunting your not going to be doing too much carrying the gun. But if you plan on carrying it alot then i would get the 20". I shoot a Tikka T3 Lite Stainless in 300 WSM and its a great gun. I was looking at the T3 Tactical in 223 for a target gun.

ok. i was kinda thinking it would be more accurate, but its not alaways that way. the 24'' is alot harder to find.

Retaks

With newer barrels they are all about the same. You might notcie a little more accuracy IF you reload your own ammo and test every little different thing you could do to the round. Other then that i wouldnt worry about it. My 300 WSM shoots just over 1" with the cheapset Winchester Super-X power points i could find. I havnt tryed anything else in it yet.

ok i think im gonna get the 24''.

CommonSense

I would go with the 24" because it will allow for a bit more velocity, which can make a lot of difference when shooting varmints at extended ranges.

24" if you can find it.

ok. i will try to find one and im going to put a bsa sweet .223 for now.

nightsniper1

does it have a bull barrel on it or standard.

Retaks

Yes the Tactical dose have a bull barrel. BSa scopes are normally fine on a gun with minimal recoil like a 223. I have one on my 204 and it has not failed me. Mine si the target model not the sweet model. I dontlike the sweet model scopes. A mil-dot is so much better.
