snaggletooth Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Evening lads What's the difference between a 527 American and the Varmint version? Is it solely the length or has the Varmint barrel a larger outside diameter? Cheers Davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Davey Just google it,for the detail-Varmint is a little longer, with longer barrel and heavier (1/2 kilo)(also synthetic and laminate options) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 And, for consideration, when you buy the American you get a set of rings. With the Varmint, you do not. I have a 204 Ruger Varmint / Walnut. Loading 40 grain ballistic tips at 3650 fps I got half MOA straight from the box. Amazing rifles. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a varmint you'll like it.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
