I said I would never own a 223, but low and behold, I won one on GunBroker. VLP 223, SS, 26" w/flutes. The sad part is that I waiting for parts for my latest build still :) And now another scope to buy. Hello my name is Mike and I am a Savageholic....... I justified it as needing a cheaper rifle to shoot more often. Oh the denial of it all.
