Kurt,
No Ruger 223 for me. I do own a Savage Storm. It’s accurate, trigger is decent, no creep and breaks around 4 pounds. Typical not very smooth Savage action. It has a small roll to fill and that is to sit beside the back door in case I see a yote, coon, skunk, etc across the pond.

My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
