Did you try different bullet weights and loads?
Nah, I thin kI used the same 'ol Maxi Max or whatever is in those little sliding 50 rd cases. I just stuck with my faithful LR. which reminds I need to re-sight that thing in.

Want to buy my husband a varmint rifle for xmas. Have any suggestions on caliber/brand?
He will be shooting groundhogs, skunks, and the occassional racoon.
Not sure. I shot maybe 100 rounds got ticked off and gave it away to my cousin. He can't hit anything with it either. You know I am starting to wonder if it was something wrong with the scope :shrug:
.17HRM is a good varmint round too.
That should of been the first thing you checked.
I know that now thinking about it It was a new scope, shouldn't have been anything wrong but who knows.
...your budget and is he a 'gun' guy or will he be happy with pretty much anything you get him?
My budget is 500 or under and he is a gun guy. I know that "gun guy" and "buget" don't go together, especially considering what I have paid for some of my own guns ...but it won't be his only present, so he'll have to make do.
Savage makes a really nice affordable rifle and I can't believe no one has suggested .223 yet, yeah it has got somewhat expensive but it is still a better deal than 22-250 and can be found everywhere.
Rifle and decent scope for under $500 is going to be tough. A good varmint rifle needs a good scope on it as well.
.17HRM is a good varmint round too.
Yeah, people should only hunt varmint with politically correct .22 LR guns....she said she needed a nice, soft, warm and fuzzy varmit gun, not an ASSAULT WEAPNON!!!
22 hornet or the Rugar 77/17
Skunks and raccoons should NOT be shot unless you're going to use their pelts.
