[QUOTE="tulku, post: 580934, member: 5203"] Ricky , your choice of a Savage 223 is good for all the reasons posted above . Before you go buying a ton of Ammo , make sure that your Rifle likes it . It may and it may not . Saying that , I've seen Black Hills Ammo work well in a friends Savage after he ran out of his handloads in S. Dakota . I've seen it for Sale all over SD and Montana . Don't know which Bullets they offer now , but pick a Hollow Point or Polytip Bullet . I like 40 Gr. Vmaxes for my 223 . A good Laser Rangefinder is a big aid . A used Leica 1200 will serve you well and is seen on this Boards Classifieds fairly often . Try the different types of shooting and see what you like , whether it's with a Bipod on the ground ( be real careful what you lay on .....lots of stuff will sting you ) , off a Bench , off the hood of your vehicle ( watch the Paint & Mirrors ) . I much prefer walking ( when I am able ) and shooting off a stand-up tripod . Get yourself a good pair of Sunglasses and take a lot of water . Get a set of really detailed Maps ....the BLM Maps are very good . When I was pressed for time ( like when I was working ) , I picked a Big City near where I wanted to Hunt . Went to the Library , got a phone book out and called one of the Sporting Goods Stores and looked for one which would accept my "stuff"'. Don't know what the Rules are now , but I shipped my Guns & Ammo to myself in care of the Store . I did that well ahead of time and everything was waiting for me there . Once you go Pdoggen you won't want to quit ! [/QUOTE]
