That should be a good one. I wouldnt hesatate a bit to go with savage. Although I might wait a little while and check out the new 204ruger cartrige. A 20cal 32 or 33gr bullet traveling at 4225fps if I remember right. Ought to be wicked an prarie dogs out alot farther than a 223 will get you. KN

With that bullet caliber and weight, it computes that a 5 mph wind of 90' will make that bullet drift about 6".
