they love theirs, and i love mine. The .308 does have a bit of recoil but its nothing too major. I am 16, 5'10" 130lbs and can take the recoil just fine! Both are fine calibers and the 10FP is an amazing rifle! either way you should be happy. In my opinion id go with the .308, but like mitch said the .223 will do just fine at about 300yards
Edit: what i use in .308 is winchester 150gr super X power points, picked up a box of 20 at walmart for $15. Most major gun stores have ferderal on sale for $14.99 (atleast around here they do)
mitch-what brand of store bought ammo do you use? |
Since I've never intended to hunt with mine, I weghted the `hollow stock down a bit and recoil is not bad at all. Weight is just up to 10.5 lbs with the 20" barrel.
I only use my own loads for the Savage. 168 grain Sierra HPBT at about 2800 fps. Fire formed cases.
