Default RE: Which 223 to buy?

300-350 is all I expect out of it. I won't be shooting coyotes much past 200 yards with it, when I go calling I usually don't shoot them that often, I let my buddies clean 'em up. Just need a gun that'll be capable of shooting 300-350 on p-dogs, jacks, etc. My custom Rem 700 would shoot 400 pretty easily as long as the wind wasn't blowing too excessively. This gun I want to be able to carry all day long and not have it be a burden. I went an checked my ammo supply today, I have around 250 40gr BTs loaded up, and around 800 Speer TNTs (52gr), I also want it to be able to stabalize the lighter varmint rounds. I had a 1:12 twist in the 700, and it shot everything very well. Everything is kinda pointing towards the Browning....
