RE: hard decision own a .223
The really fantastic thing about the .223 is how easy it is to load for. I have several .223s. Two Remingtons, both of which are sub 1/2 MOA rifles. One is a standrad 700 BDL, the other is a VSSF. I also have a CZ in.223. Very handy little rifle, easy to carry. It also happens to be very accurate.
