I was finally able to see/hold a new Savage 10fp w/ a choate varmint stock last night. Nice rifle, but I'm still shaking from overall sticker shock. I'll probably spend a little more time looking for pre-owned rifles while I'm saving the discretionary funds.
I thought I had the 233/308 debate sorted out in my head, and was leaning towards 223 primarily based on (Walmart) ammo cost. The guy at the store told me that I may want to rethink that decision. He told me that at further distances, 308 will perform better - and a nearby range opened up a 600 yard target recently.
Given that I'm probably delaying this purchase, what is the collective wisdom out there on 223 vs 308. I'm not going roll my own ammo.
Thanks!
