Have a savage 10fp tht wasn't too expensive and have shot less than i in groups with it at 200 yds.
Last week a fellow at the range was shooting one of the NEF 223 with bull barrel and was getting less than 2 in groups @300.So if I wanted another 223 it would be the less expensive NEF. He let me shoot a 3-shot group with his reloads and they were almost in the same hole @100.
