Lots of good posts everyone.. I am still not sure though.. I like real light rifles , and have a Ruger American compact in .243Win. and I like it a lot. I can get up in the trees with my stand very easy. I plan on shooting the .223 rem I want for targets, rare coyotes , and deer hunting so the Ruger for deer cause I hunt in such brushy cat tails ETC, or the heavier Vanguard for targets.. Not sure yet.
