223 Montucky. You've the twist and the COAL,along with ergo's,balance and handling. It's an unequaled rugged/reliable platform,that'll last generations.
I'll always take a 22-250 over a 308 and a 223 over both.
Connecting dots is ALL about round count and FUN and I'm never not amazed at how hasty folks are,to forget that. Though of course...most folks don't shoot,though they certainly "think" they do.
Happiness is a 223 Montucky,good glass/mounts and 5 gallon buckets full of fodder. The Reupold 6x42 can't be whooped,for kids,given it's ease of acquisition and exceedingly generous eye-relief. Very easy to go M1 on it's ele and reach the 1000yd line easily.
Hint.
The 62X is no slouch,though Graf's has 75A-Max in stock currently.
Re-hint.
Thank me later.........
This is the route I went. Only I built and didn't get him a Montana.
But between the two, it's the 22-250. Hands down.
