personally I WOULD SUGGEST 1:12----1:10 even....the trebly is great wee round..so is 223 and if you want to chuck 80grn projectiles buy a .243 ...within 150 yards the 50-55grn projectiles do good...

I hunt with my 223 often by choice and shoot a lot of deer with it. Love the quietness of it and the added challenge. I tend not to muck around and just shoulder/ chest shoot deer with it. Includes...
