As I wrote above My son shoots a Savage 223, 26" barrel 1:7 twist, Model 12, straight from the shop with addition of scope & rail + bipod.
When we can get them we will use 80 gr A-Max, trying 75 gr as no 80gr left to purchase.

This rifle has been shot out to 1000 yards. In heavier winds (aka Trentham) it can struggle at 1000 - though its first ever shot at 1000 at Trentham was an 'X'.

223 is less expensive and can be equally competitive.
