You can't go wong w/ a rem. 700. The sendero special has a free floated bull barrel w/ a nice, heavy synthetic stock. Perfect for varmints and long range plinking, but a little heavy to go running around in the woods with (i.e. great for groundhogs).
I got .270 so that it would be versatile enough for me to take just about any game in north america, and while it is more than adequate for varmint hunting, you might want to go w/ 22-250 for a dedicated varmint gun. Check out www.hornady.com they have nice, honest ballistics tables for thier ammunition. It's an easy way to compare.
Debaser: 1/4 moa @ 1000 yards w/ .223?????? I believe that would break many world records as you would only have 2.5 inch groups.

The rifle will do it (mounted in a vice), I on the other hand...
Edit - Sorry, upon rereading the post I see what the issue was. The gun holds 1/4 minute for zero, not at 1000 yards (never tried benching it there). Still, group size, barring funky wind, is usually a foot to a foot and a half, and I am fairly certain that is me, not the rifle.
