I have seen a few bushie's listed for sale online that say they are NIB "Super Varminters"--I don't see these on their website though. Is this on older model they no longer sell or something? If so, what was the difference between it and the new Varminter or Varmint Special models? Does it have the "tactical pistol grip"? (maybe they mean the Varminter Special?)

Also--is there likely to be a big difference in accuracy between a V Match and a Varmint model? One person told me the SS barreled models are supposed to be more accurate than the chrome lined models? Any opinions appreciated...

Scubie,

I have two Rock River uppers for my AR-15, one is a
Stainless Steel 20" Wilson barrel, and it easily shoots .6"
groups(under .5" when the rifle, the wind, and I get
in sync) with 55 gr Nosler BTs. I also have a 16" Chome
Moly Steel(not chrome lined) M4 Pre-Ban upper, and it puts
the same 55 gr Nosler bullets into 1", or slightly better,
groups. I have also heard that chrome lined barrels would
be expected to shoot more in the 2 MOA range. For that
reason, I have decided to stick with chrome moly steel, for
the light carry purposes(i.e. stalk and call varminting),
and heavy stainless for targets, and colony varmints. If I
ever feel the urge to get a "Spray" barrel for fun
shooting(I have sons that enjoy rapid fire), I might
consider a chrome lined barrel, to hold up to that abuse.
But for now I hand them the SKS and a stack of 30 round
mags, and tell them to go chew up our range burms. So, I
would select a barrel for the main purpose of the rifle.
Stainless for great accuracy, chrome moly steel for good
accuracy, or chrome lined for heavy plinking. With that
said, I have heard rumors of good accuracy from chrome
lined barrels, but I have yet to see proof on targets.

Thanks for the info squeeze!
