[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 1033703, member: 50419"] So lets take then converstation to a little different angle just to think about it a little bit in the situation I am thinking about. Lets say I don't want a heavy barreled gun. I kind of want a sporter barreled gun with nothing fancy for a scope on it. I have a Simmons 3-10x44 in my closet just itching to go on something. I have an eye on SPS or SPS stainless, sporter, not varmint barrel. In this situation, I am not htinking about something my kids could shoot later. Just kind of a throw around gun for the pickup. I notice in the stores that there are some varieties of 22-250 ammo that are fairly cheap too. Not quite as cheap as the 223, but pretty fair considering. Gonna do a little coyote calling with it, maybe lets say 400yd shooting max, very max. I am thinking I could have a descent budget throw around rifle that I could always find a takeoff short action wood stock or something to throw on. Maybe do a little loading down the road after I have some brass collected. For the purposes I am trying to attain, I don't really need/want to shoot anything more than 55 grains I don't think. I would actlaly really like a 243 with light bullets just for kicks and grins. But finding a factory with the right twist to do that seems easier said than done. I know the SPS doesn't get a lot of respect because of the stock, but it might just be what fits the bill and fills a nitch in my collection. [/QUOTE]
