Since I would only use it once or maybe twice a year I was kinda leaning towards just getting my 223 fitted with the barrel, but also getting some laminate pistol grip stock with a decelerator pad and enough lead in the butt to balance it if need be. Though, getting a whole new gun and buying the stocks I want and selling the factory stocks would probably be a difference of less than $100 . . . hmmm
This would be a whitetail and black bear gun in north MN.
