Did my homework and decided to buy a Savage to thin the herds of feral paper taking over my local range.

Traded and sold 30rnd AR mags for this model in .223.

(left eye dominate, thus the Louisiana bolt)

I reload .223 for my SBR, so I thought commonality of ammo would be a good idea in these days and times.

Also found a NIB Leupold 6.5-20x40 which I also traded with AR mags.

Hope to shoot it for the first time tomorrow if the weather breaks.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions, so bear with me.

First question: 50grain Varmit Nightmare X-treme SP's should shoot ok in the 1/9 twist barrel?
