Default Next Purchase Advice

Hmmmmm here is what I have:

.22 LR Anschutz
.22 LR Savage
.30-30 Winchester M94
.30-06 Ruger MkII
12ga Winchester Pump
12ga Stoeger M2000

I'm thinking either a:
Benelli 12ga
Ruger Mini 14 in .223
Handi single shot in .223

If it was me, and I wanted a .223, I'd get an AR15 before I'd buy a Mini 14.

You might also consider a bolt action in the .243 Win - .25-06 range...

I say but them all. But if your budget cant afford that then go with the Handi Single shot 223. The Mini 14 isnt very accurate.

I'd get a .22-250 over a .223, but certianly you can fill that small bore gap. or how about a .338 or .375?

I'd upgrade to high quality scopes for the rifles, and more ammo for everything...

Retaks is right. You'll be disappointed with Mini-14 accuracy. They look good, function good and shoot like a shotgun.
