I did well on selling some equipment and had a few bucks burning a hole in my pocket. I foolishly stopped by my favorite store and spied a Browning A-Bolt hunter (blue & walnut, used but looks new) in 223 WSSM with a older Bushnell 4-12x40 AO mounted for $439. I put it on layaway today, and will pick it up in about two weeks. Does anyone have any experience with a 223 WSSM? I'll be searching the net for good reduced loads as I really don't need the white hot velocities this round generates (would rather have found a Hornet or 223 REM). I just couldn'd pass this one up though.
