If you will get a new rifle as noted, for hunting, then by all means IMHO dump the 308 idea and run 223. At least a 8 or 9 twist if you can manage it. Just fine for 200 yards. Even with a slower twist than that.

I have no clue what twists bolt guns come in these days though as I never was a bolt gun shooter, only the AR shooter in competition.

Its half the cost to feed for sure, won't beat you up at all, etc...


We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
