Hello. Santa brought me a Rossi single shot .223. I will be using it for gophers in SW Saskatchewan. I will need a scope, probably a decent Bushnell. Anybody familiar with the gopher situation in SW Sask. will appreciate the "need" for several different guns in a good day of gopher shooting!! Mostly I use a scoped 10/22, then change to a semi-auto 12 ga. for a while. Now I have a third option - .223!! Can't wait!
