get some of each! (My CZ550FS 9.3 is on order)

if you like the looks of the CZ550FS it MUST be in a european caliber! so get that 9.3x62. The 6.5x55 used to be hard to find ammo, now every factory makes that ammo, but other than the CZ, no guns. Every few years Ruger makes a run of #1's in 6.5 for Lipseys, so hold out for one of those.

if you want a semi-auto plinker/coyote gun thats bigger than a .22 LR get an AR-15 style in .223, AR stands for "America's Rifle".

I almost always recommend .30-06 for an American's first or only hunting rifle. If there are no Elk in your state then a .270 is 2nd choice. If you don't reload and want to practice a lot with surplus FMJ ammo then .308.

Oh, you should have a .22 LR bolt action too.
