I'm in rifle mode again, had to dump'em all over the last two years for much needed cash.
Now I'm where I can buy again.
Just bought myself a beauty of a SIG 556 last night which I plan to mate with a nice CompM4 and 3X Mag soon, which will be my CQB/Go-to Room Broom.
But I want myself an nice bolt gun, nothing too fancy or high end like the custom builds you see on all the sniper forums, just a nice out-of-the-box Remington or Winchester heavy barrel, with a nice lupy or Ziess scope.
My question I pose to all here is should I stay with 223 for a caliber, commonality with my Zombie slayer as I plan to add either a Varmint set up soon, maybe even an HK 416 when/if they become available.
Or should I go with another caliber something that would do a good bull barrel justice, like the .308?
Now here is another question if I depart from the 223, why not just go head and buy myself a real brute such as a .338 or other comparable magnum round and have a real bolt gun.
Has anyone any experience with the .338 Winchester Magnum round?
