Like @Tahr mentioned hunting just feels better to me with an efficient and accurate little cartridge, housed in an appropriately sized little rifle. I totally get the ‘old school’ keep it simple vibe too, I’m going through a similar journey away from all the BS that the hunting and shooting market tries to tell us is necessary. I’m using 1/2 the gear and having twice the enjoyment!

For what it’s worth, in your .222 @Nathan F the 55gr Hornady SP is hard to go past for a one stop shoot everything bullet.

Thank you. I can’t wait to get shooting with it
