I like the heavier barrelled rifles around. The straight barrel of the Varmint model, to me, is more pleasing to the eye than the tapering profile of my 550 Standard.
But what exactly, apart from that fine, meaty barrel, does a Varmint give you, that a Standard does not?
It is heavier, carries fewer cartridges and has not iron sights as an alternative.
Can't say I can realistically afford one, right now, but if I were to upgrade, it would more likely be the CZ Varmint, than some of the Steyr Mannlichers that I have been drooling over at twice the price... It would be nice to know what it is they can do better...
