Hey yall, I' m thinking of adding a new Savage heavy bbl to my battery, money' s kind of tight, so I' m considering buying a 10FP in .223 from walmart instead of a 12FV in .22-250 (saves like $50), I really like the .22-250, but I don' t have a short action varminter or a bolt gun in .223, wondering if anyone could help shed some light on the differences in the two models?

I' ve never actually tried a .223 in a bolt gun, my AR' s haven' t been able to come close to my .22-250 bolt guns, but that' s comparing apples to oranges, anyone got actual experience to how differently they perform in bolt guns? I' m looking for another gun that can keep up with my present varmint battery, i.e. coyotes out to like 600yrds, I know the .22-250' s good that far, but how' s the .223?
