treedog, if I start thinking that way, then I will start looking at 223, then the way my crazy mind thinks, I will look at the 22-250 sitting beside it. Next think you know, I am at the gunsmith making it Ackley improved. Wait a minute, lost my head there.

Seriously though, I went to a gun store about 3 or so years ago, meaning perfectly well to come out with a 300win mag remington 700. I came out with a 300RUM. so I wasn't happy here and there, so I bought a heavy barreled police edition 700p. Still wasn't happy out to 500 yards, so had it rebarreled. This hobby thing is a disease.
