oh frizz. there you go again.

the 223 was my first two years hunting. that was all
my dad had to give me.

and to this day, if that was all I had, you better bet it
would do the job.
in your 20 years how many deer did you get???
just becouse you have been hunting for a time
does not mean anything.
if you shoot 1000 round a year then that is saying something.
