Luckily, I do live out west. And most my hunting is from a fixed position. My shooting/hunting includes coyote (fixed), jackrabbit "sniping" for a farmer (fixed), paper punching (fixed), and other varmint control (crow, coon, fox, etc) all while in a fixed position. The only other thing that I *might* be doing with it, is doing an antlerless deer hunt for some winter meat.

@foxx, thanks for the link! Those are some killer prices. I just sent him a price inquiry for a 26" varmint contour (.8" muzzle) .223 barrel in chromemoly w 1/9" or 1/8" twist.
