I had the 10fp in .223, very accurate rifle. It would shoot the 69 gr match bullets into 1 ragged hole. Sold it in Nov and bought a 700 SPS VS Stainless in .22-250, I like the 250 better. I knew going in the stock had to go and replaced it with a B&C Medalist and a Timney trigger. The 700 is now an accurate gun but not as accurate as the Savage .223. But this is comparing apples & oranges with these 2 cartridges, the .223 just gives better accuracy. But the .223 doesn't fit my needs which is why it's gone.
