Yep, just cause a critter is big doesn't mean it looses varmint status, just look at Trevort. :lol:

Oh DAMN that looks perdy 🤤

Would be one of only a couple left that I'd like to own and throw lead from and yes I'd calls it a Varmint rifle for sure 😃

If you load it with the 250gn Barnes X you should be able to get some decent velocity out of it.
I used these "flying ashtrays" in a 458 Lott on some smaller pests and the results were entertaining so they will likely work great in a 45/90.
