See, when I first shouldered the Triumph, I felt the same way. I did not like the fit. I liked the light weight, but the grip on the stock was not natural to me. Granted I could have got used to it.
On the Pro Hunter, they are a great rifle. Simply because you want to move to a .223 in the future, I would go the Pro Hunter route. I often said if I had no rifles at all, I would probably go the Pro Hunter route and outfit it with barrels. Especially if they fit you.
That would be a $700 single shot riflei might add.
