So the plan is by spring to have a new varmint rifle.
I'm too Scotch to just plunk down custom gun money so I want to go "semi-custom."
I'll pick up a Savage or Remington 223 gun when the right thing comes along and re barrel it to 20 something/ 223.
I might lean toward the Savage and I can re-barrel it myself.
So in looking around at 20 something/ 223 it seems there isn't an absolute.
I like everything I've seen so far; 20 caliber for flat and fast shooting, using the 223 cases I have, etc.
So, how about some input folks?
