The latest generation of the Nosler Varmageddon rifle has been updated with an all new cartridge offering, the 22 Nosler.

The Varmageddon rifle includes features and components typically found only on custom rifles. Offering a 300 fps increase in muzzle velocity over the .223/5.56, the 22 Nosler cartridge brings a new level of performance to the Varmageddon rifle series. 

The Varmageddon AR in 22 Nosler is a rifle that is suited for a wide range of hunting and shooting applications. Designed to be the ultimate varmint hunting platform, the Varmageddon AR is equally at home in the prairie dog towns of the plains, or calling coyotes in the sagebrush, and makes for a formidable competition rifle.
