[QUOTE="north of 53, post: 790890, member: 8510"] For what you say you want to do with this gun I would go with a 223 every time. The 223 is much cheaper to shoot. If as you say barrel life is not that big a deal then the cost should not bother that much. Remember if you are shoot a 22-250 A.I. you are shoot about 25 cents of barrel life every shot. II have a 22-250 A.I. in a 788 with a 1:8 barrel and I love it but I would never take it shooting groundhogs or prairie dogs, just too many shots in short time for the barrel. I shoot coyotes and deer with mine all the time using 80 A-Max. I also have a couple of 223s and I shoot them much more. One 223 is a Savage model 25 1:9 twist, this is a cheaper gun but has done very well for a lot of rounds. The other 223 built on a 700 action with a 28" 1:8 twist and it shoots very well and I will use it this summer shooting F T/R class shooting. I have both 22-250 A.I. and a pair of223s and every thing you say you want to do should point you away from the 22-250 and towards the 223. In short I find the term "22-250 A.I. Savage Axis" to almost be an oxymoron. [/QUOTE]
