Thanks everyone, I appreciate the insight. its starting to make more sense to me now.
Interesting comment on not bringing enough rifles. My shooting partners eluded to that as well. Before I recently purchased this Ruger American 223, the 6.5 Creedmoor was the smallest centerfire I owned so if I want another I'm going to have to buy it.
Just got through paying for my first semester of college for my son - rifle funds aren't what they used to be! I have $700 in my budget for glass. I also have two older Bushnell Elites, a 4200 4-16x40 and a 3200 5-15x40 that could be pressed into service. Both scopes have decent optics and hold zero.
Would I be better off buying another 223 and mounting those older Bushnells or stay the course and buy some decent glass for the 1 rifle? I don't have the budget to buy two rifles and two scopes for this right now.
Thanks,
David
