Had the opportunity to run my Modern Varmint HARD over the weekend at the Surefire World Multigun Championship, and it didn't disappoint. This was a challenging match with rifle targets ranging from 5 to ~330m. I ran over 350 rounds through my Varmint in the dusty desert heat without cleaning or maintenance of any kind. I shot it until it was so hot it was uncomfortable to hold the handgaurd without any degradation in function or noticeable poi shift (REGULAR capacity magazines help with this :D). I was using magpul Pmags and the ammunition was handloaded, 55 grains for everything inside 200, 69 grain sierras beyond that. Properly configured I believe this is an excellent choice for a 3 Gun rifle. Ended up 17th in Tactical and 29th overall for the match, which I am very pleased with given the caliber of shooters in attendance. Keep pumping out those guns ATRS!

Here's a little taste of some of the long range shooting on Stage 1. 10x 10" MGM flashers at 300+m. 5th flasher was so shot up I couldn't see it until some dust kicked up behind the plate haha.

Yes AR's are definitely the rifle of choice down south. It took a couple stages for anyone to realize something was different about my rifle. First thing guys noticed was the lack of a traditional top charging handle when clearing guns behind me. This caused some momentary confused looks, followed by "OOOooohhh I like the side charger". At that point I usually launched into a brief lesson on Canadian gun laws and why this is in my opinion THE gun to have up here. Everyone who handled it pretty much got the impression that it was pretty much equivalent a high end side charging AR. My configuration isn't super light, but the heavy stock makes it balance extremely well. I'll upload some more videos tonight or tomorrow of mowing down some plate racks off hand. The muzzle break, rifle length gas, JP buffer and balance of my rifle pretty much completely eliminate muzzle movement when shooting off hand, making quick transitions on the plate racks a breeze. Overall honestly I would say rifle is probably my weakest gun of the 3 (despite being my favorite... funny how that works haha), but the MV definitely allows me to take full advantage of the ability I do have.

Here's Stage 2. This was actually the first stage we shot, so a little shaky on the shooting compared to the other video. I struggled on the rifle swinger...
