Always one of their most popular Varmint models"" the Pro Varmint has a heavy 16.5"" barrel threaded 1/2x28 for use with a suppressor or other muzzle device. Riding in a black-painted laminate stock"" it incorporates features found on much more expensive stocks without pushing the price of the rifle through the roof. The short barrel gives plenty of time for the cartridge to get a full burn while increasing the rigidity of the barrel"" resulting in a rifle that drives tacks.
