When I started in to this last year, I read about rifles before I actually purchased a Varmint Rifle. I decided on a 12 FV in .204 26 in Bull Barrel, Tupperware stock. Its a very accurate rifle. The thing I noticed was how " Top Heavy it was due to the Longer heavy Barrel. On Ground squirrel days, you can shoot lot, and it hits where you point it. Then later I got a T3 Lite. Its very accurate as well, But it has a smaller thinner lighter barrel. It will still knock down squirrels at 200 + yds, but it gets hot. If you want to shoot in rapid succession, get the Bull. If you want to hunt Predators, and can confine your shots to alot less, get a good shooting Sporter Barrel. The weight in my case helps on really long shots.. but ease on the stand is way different. Good luck in your choices !
