Need a Varmint Rifle. Which 223???
Savage Long Range Precision Varminter! But it's a heavy rifle so I would use a bipod and set myself up in a good spot and glass the area and wait. My LRPV is a 1 in 7 twist and I'm developing a load using 80grn Sierra Match (when I can get them in Sydney Australia).

55grn, 69grn and 77grn shoot really well. As a matter of fact the competition benchrest guys at the range I frequent suggest "It's not a benchret rifle but it's a very good varmint rifle"

Dont know if these are awailable in the US but Sauer are among the finest factory guns i have tested.

The Wolverine might fill you needs nicely thou it might be a bit on the heavy side..
