[QUOTE="Handymike, post: 2656642, member: 119469"] I just purchased a Savage Model 110 Hunter in .223 Cal. It is sitting in my FFL's safe awaiting the FBI to OK an old veteran the right to own it. In the meantime I have a couple questions for the Forum and hopefully I'll get some really great info. This is going to be a primarily a hunting rifle, however I would also like to do some long range paper work with it if I can shoot well enough, so with that in mind I would like to get your input on: [LIST] [*]Long range varmint hunting. What is the practical maximum range for this caliber? [*]What is best magnification for use with this cal. (may be shooting out to 800 yds.) [*]Since I don't currently reload, what do you consider the better factory ammunition [*]For this caliber. Ground squirrels to coyotes size of game. [*]Is this caliber useful for other game and if so what? [*] [/LIST] I also am thinking about having this rifle re-chambered to .223 Wylde so that I can safely shoot 5.56 ammo, which opens it up to larger, heavier projectiles. Your thoughts. Thanks Mike [/QUOTE]
