    The Howa Creedmoor. Until you have some experience and get over the jitters using the .223 (especially with factory ammo) is likely to end in tears. Fairer on you and the animals to start with a bit more oomph. Get the .223 when you are really feeling confident with your bush shots.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
