I share Adrain's view on the 223 being a nice all purpose round. You can do a lot of things with it. If you want speed, think about a 20 Practical. Sorry if I missed it, but are you reloading? If are not, the the wide range of commercially available 223 ammo is a big plus (and it is cheap). I used to think speed was the answer to all problems in shooting. Then I started playing with the BR case. First, a 6BR... then another. Then a 30BR, and another and another... A 22BR will be the next 22 barrel I get. I have a 223s, 22-250s, 22-250AI. I perfer to play with the 223s as much as anything. That's the great thing about a Savage, for $300 you can get a new premium pre-fit barrel and start having fun with a new caliber. Luck in your choice, Tim
