Hello,
I've been wanting to get a bolt action rifle, anything larger than a .22lr (i know ). I think I've narrowed down to a .223 for the price of ammo. Question is, which rifle should I go for? I'm getting this rifle for fun range shooting and will eventually hunt with it. Is the .223 round capable for hunting? Like deers and such.
These are the criteria:
- Inexpensive ($300-400 is my budget, but anything less is perfect).
- Somewhat accurate/reliable for my bucks.
- Good for hunting.
I'm also open for other caliber suggestions as I am quite a newbie when it comes to rifles and hunting.
Thanks.
