What is your Ideal Varmint Hunting Optic?

[Rick in Oregon]

Nice collection. All Coopers?

You are correct sir, all Coopers.

One not pictured but gets much use around the nasty lava rock here when out for rockchucks is my Cooper M38 Phoenix in 221FB. I call it my "Furball", and it shoots just like all the others......very well.





I've lost count of how many rockchucks taken with this little gem. Off the bench in the rat patch, same story......a truckload of sage rats.

I seem to remember you from The Varmint Hunter Magazine forum is that correct?

Guilty as charged, Bob.

My last article in their magazine was No. 90 titled "The Paradigm Has Shifted: The .20 Vartarg".

Mine in the wild:



I miss that magazine, glad I have every copy stashed. Good to pull a few out and re-read when sort on reading material during the winter doldrums. That along with Small Caliber News....another one I dearly miss.

Yes that was a great magazine. I also have an extensive collection with the exception of a few very early issues. I'll pull #90 tonight! Those Coopers are GOOD looking rifles.

Love the Cooper, just one thing wrong the bolt handle isn't on the correct side

I have all the Small Caliber News magazines, great reading, but none of the Varmint Hunter Magazines
