Montana Rifle Co. Prairie Runner by OutdoorLife
A good varmint rifle needs to deliver excellent accuracy and be configured so the shooter can see his hits (or misses). The Prairie Runner excels at both.
Chambered in .22/250, the Prairie Runner was one of our favorite guns to shoot at the 2016 Gun Test. Its best 5-shot group measured .521 inch with a Federal 40-grain hollowpoint, but it shot numerous bullet weights very well, which is a testament to the quality of MRC’s barrels. The lovely 2-pound 1-ounce trigger helped here, too. Overall, we were smitten with this rifle’s looks and performance and would happily take it afield.
