The 8″ twist Varmint will never let you down!

Where do you find a 8″ twist varmint .223?

Sportsman's Warehouse has a few kicking around in their “Sportsmans Exclusive” super lite model with the fluted barrel, and I've seen them at Scheel's in a compact/youth length. You can also (on very rare occasions) find the heavy barreled version at gun shops/shows, too. Be advised, though- if you find one, do NOT let anyone know about it (especially me), because they will buy it out from under you (especially me). Good luck!
