Criteria for Varmint Rifle:

a) 22-250 calibre
b) Light weight in the 6 - 6 1/2 lb area
c) Can be wood or synthetic, but the "feel" has to be right (how the stock material feels and how it mounts to shoulder).
d) Detachable magazine preferred

So I'm looking at buying a Sako A7, Winchester Model 70 Featherweight, Tika T3 and Savage Weather Warrior 16 FHSS.

Anyone out there have any of these rifles and what has been your experience? Anyone have suggestions for another mfg. or model I should consider which fit the criteria above? Let me know.

Something to think about ... (I haven't owned one yet, but I've been tire kicking and drooling for a long time) ... I'm continually told that for the few $ more, it's well worth getting any 22-250 with a "Heavy Barrel" instead of a regular barrel.

Not an uncommon mistake. Better an error from the forum above than from the one below.

waynewjw, your list is good but I'd add a Browning X-Bolt Composite to it. Meets the weight criteria, has a detachable magazine and worth a look.
