Could you elaborate more on this? Except for the fact that it is slightly more expensive, it looks to me (from the little I've just read) like a superior round...

This makes a ton of sense to me.

I could always buy a super cheap 22lr to plink with, but if I wanted to make a nice target/hunting rifle in small caliber, this seems like a valid prospect...Joe Camo wrote:That said, I'm still a WMR fan but find it's role (and the HMR's) rather limited; if I need to pop a varmint/predator beyond the Stinger's capabilities of size and distance then I'll get out the .223.

Ragged, or whoever, do you have a good suggestion for this? I would probably want to trick it out with a good trigger, a comp (not needed but hey). Is the Cz still a good lead?
