Hi I am wondering what sort of accuracy to expect and wht bullet weights would work best. Primairly will be using it fo varmints (gophers).

Thanks.
 
Assuming you are a capable shooter, you should expect .75MOA or better. It has a 1:9.5 twist, so bullets up to 90 gr. will work.

Bedding and accurizing may squeeze a bit more. I am willing to bet that some 87 gr. Vmax bullets and Varget or H4350 powder would be an excellent choice.
 
I used mine in precision competitions with great success. I used it quite a bit in the hog fields. Most impressive round I've seen on groundhogs. With Varget and 55 grain ballistic tips, it really makes them flip. My match loads were 70 grain Sierra Matchkings and Lapua brass.
