what do you consider to be a "varmint" rifle? I hunt coyotes by driving them and when we lose sight of them, we cut a track and dump trailing hounds on them... to get the chase going again. 99% of our shots are at running coyotes from 10' to 300 yards. I have a Bushnell 4200 Elite 3-9x40 on a Savage 204 and consider it to be perfect! But I'm not sure that's what you intended.

And same with Long Range Hunter? are we talking a "bean field" rifle? Something we would want if we planed a "western" hunt or african safari? I would imagine I would get a 300 mag of some sort and I would have to do research on which scope.. but prolly a Zeiss or Swaro.
for Big Game... which for me is mostly Whitetails... I have a Kahles CL 3.5-10X50 on top of a BAR in 30-06 and wouldn't change a thing about it.... with the possible exception of a bit thicker reticle.
