sourcing/choosing one would be greatly appreciated.
I've got a Marlin 880S for the .22 and used to have a Tikka T3 Lite .270. Great gun, but kicked like a donkey. Looking to possibly get into hunting with some buddies....22's are fun, but looking for the long range whack and a more versatile rifle.
Thinking about a Remington 870 12ga pump and a Tikka T3 Varmint .223 or the Remington 700 .308 since its much more versatile....any other opinions/recommendations??

Take a look at the mossberg MVP, it's a bolt action varmint rifle that takes ar mags and shoots both 5.56 NATO and .223 rem rounds. Pretty dang accurate. They also have a .204 barrel which is a flatter shooting round and shoots about 1k feet per second faster than the .223.
It's a great prairie dog slayer.
Here is a 100 yards 10 rounds
