  Vermin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Application of the term can be wide, having been applied over the centuries in different languages, to various groups, and its use is usually based on a perception that the target group's views are "disease-like," or that such groups exist out of sociological balance with the common society.
"Varmint" is an American colloquialism which describes farm pests which raid farms as opposed to infest farms: mainly predators such as foxes and coyotes, sometimes even wolves; but also (to a lesser degree) herbivores and burrowing animals which directly damage crops and land.
While this is not a very important term in general semantics, it takes on special significance when discussing weapons such as in the case of the term "varmint guns".

 Varmint Guns
The varmint we hunt and the game laws have the most influence on the gun for the job.
The carbon barrel is about the same diameter as steel varmint barrels, but it is much lighter, and is said to stay cooler than steel during repetitive firing.

 August, 96 Varmint Guns
For varminters, accuracy is everything, including the difficult task of placing multiple heat-generating shots fired in a short time span without changing point-of-impact or accuracy.
Thus, varmint rifles must have a good trigger, a properly designed stock, and be well adapted to shooting under field conditions.
Though most varmint shooting is done from a fixed position relatively close to a vehicle, there is little to be gained by putting a short barrel on a rifle, we think.

 G4 - Feature - NRA Varmint Hunter Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
As the acronym at the beginning of the title suggests, Varmint Hunter is sanctioned by the Nation Rifle Association.
Apparently, Speedco also accurately modeled the behavior of these varmints based on “experts.” And sure enough, those prairie dogs, and groundhogs pop their cute little heads out of their holes, scurry around on the ground, and die when you shoot them.
The varmints are small, brown, and usually no more than three pixels high.

 Savage’s Stainless Varmint Rifle
The accuracy of their 112 varmint gun is legendary among shooters who remember when this was the rifle to beat in the 1970s and ‘80s.
Savage was providing no-frills but very accurate varmint rifles back when most varmint guns were custom barreled Mauser 98s chambered in a variety of wildcat cartridges.
The action on this Savage is pillar bedded at two points into the synthetic stock, just ahead of the trigger guard and aft of the recoil lug, resulting in a very rigid and stable bedding of the action.

The 6mm BR case also has enough capacity to drive the longer varmint bullets, such as the excellent 87gr V-max, to 3000+ fps speeds.
With a decent BC (.400), this is a varmint bullet that performs well even in windy conditions, when launched from a 1:10 or faster barrel.
For varmint guns that will be shot prone as well as from a shooting bench, we like medium-weight wood stocks with some drop in the toe.

 NRA Varmint Hunter > Review
That’s because NRA Varmint Hunter, the first of a projected 15 or so NRA-licensed bargain hunting titles scheduled for release between now and about 2008 or thereabouts, plays like a game that is a first-of-its-kind title, except it’s not.
I mean the graphics are about six to eight years out of date, rendered in 800x600 resolution at a time when even standard, nothing-special hunting titles are in at least 1024x768, and employing textures so rough, you’d think they were invented on a Macintosh Performa 460, not a modern graphics-rendering machine.
NRA Varmint Hunter does deliver the chance to shoot at gophers and groundhogs, a dubious choice for a series that promises deer, bear and elk hunting titles in the near future.

 Savage Model 40 .22 Hornet Varmint Hunter Rifle
The Model 40 wears a varmint weight twenty-four inch barrel that measures.804 inch just ahead of the receiver and tapers to.740 inch at the muzzle, which has a recessed target crown.
While the little Hornet is not as flat-shooting as those two, it is a dandy little varmint cartridge out to 250 yards or so on medium-sized vermin.
I have a few very good varmint guns, and need another about like I need a third nipple, but I will be purchasing this fine little rifle from Savage.

 Ink 19 :: Varmint Masters Magazine
This is the "Official Publication of Varmint Masters Association." Despite that bold proclamation, the definition of "varmint" doesn't seem to be explicitly defined in Varmint Masters.
After reading a couple of articles and perusing the advertising here, I can only assume that a "varmint" is just about any animal whose hunt requires extra precision and care.
I find the advertisers in VM provide a more coherent picture about what exactly varmint hunting entails.

 CZ 527 Varmint Kevlar
At the same time, I have been hearing some good things about the CZ 527 Varmint rifle, and decided it would fit the bill nicely, and I'll review it for possible law enforcement use.
One thing to watch out for, the original CZ527 varmint rifles has a 1:12" twist, and if you plan to shoot anything over 55gr, this could be a problem.
The 527 Varmint comes with a lighter weight heavy barrel, I would guess a 5 or 5.5 target contour.
