I do not have one as yet, & something tells me that's going to get harder before it gets easier, at least with any dream of staying in a budget....
The closest I can come to experience is working with my wife's 6.5 x 54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer, which did "long-for-caliber" before it was a thing, & a brief fling with a $20 Carcano carbine. That probably tells you that I'm not obsessed with driving tacks (although silhouette matches have always intrigued me), but 1-shot DRT's are a point of pride. Presently I generally carry a T-C Contender Super 14 in 30-30 or 7-30 Waters, or my scoped .41 Mag Blackhawk for deer. Yeah, I like the weird stuff....
I do have a couple .223's - a stainless Mini 14 Ranch (anniversary present), & another 14" Contender barrel (for woodchucks). All our guns have to have some at least marginally justified purpose.... ;^)
Thanks for the welcomes - I think I'm going to like it here!
