[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 77652, member: 8947"] [b]Re: I\'m with you now![/b] Savage rifles are a great place to start. The blind mag, plastic stock (FP I think) is a great rifle. Should come in a 26" blued heavy barrel and accutrigger. I prefer the 223 for beginners as it just is so much easier to shoot compared to a 308. The 1 in 9 twist will allow you to use 75gr Amax, 77gr MK which is plenty all the way to 1000yds. Ballistically identical to the 308 so why put up with the abuse. biggest plus of the 223, more shots before the barrel gets hot. I hate waiting for barrels to cool. Just remember to bed the action properly. It can be done even in those plastic stocks. hog out the foreend so that there is absolutely no way for the barrel to hit the stock. With proper loading, little reason to not get 1/2 MOA or better. Best value on the market today. Also, consider the Stevens 200. Same rifle just with the orig trigger. Swap out or tune and you have an ever cheaper rifle. Jerry [/QUOTE]
