I've been looking lately for another varmint rifle and find myself puzzled over what I've been finding. I primarily shoot big bore levers, so I haven't been paying much attention to the varmint offerings. My Rem 700 ADL has been doing fine for some time now, but it needs a teammate. But can anyone explain why so many varmint rifles are chambered for the 308 Win? I understand the 223 and 22-250, but these are often paired up with the 308. It's not like they are heavy barreled long range rifles, but rather sporter weight. Combining the 22's with a 243 or 222 would seem to make a lot more sense to me, or am I missing something?
