Building on the incredibly precise 557 short action the Varmint model adds a stout 25.6 barrel in a heavy profile that tapers to a 0.863 muzzle. Anchored in a newlydesigned stock it has a healthy palm swell lasercut stippling and a flat forend. With ergonomics as the guiding principle in the stocks development the result is an incredibly comfortable rifle to lay behind whether youre punching paper ringing steel or knocking off prairie dogs at great distances.
