I will be using the gun on coyotes & prairie dogs, so I will be shooting as far away as I can see them. I have a 1/2 shooting .300win mag with a 5.5x22x56 nightforce scope for bigger animals at long range.  I considered .204 ruger but it is not leagal for cougars.  I realy wanted something pelt freindly also & the .223 would be alot more pocket freindly for shooting groundhogs.  Also considered .243, but I would rather have that caliber in a bolt gun to get everything out of it, plus it would be expensive to feed for prairie dogs!

White Oak would be my number one.
I have had two Rock River Varmints that would shoot 3/4" or better all day long with factory 77gr MatchKings.
Complete rifle with two-stage trigger for about a grand.
You really can't beat it.
There are plenty of RRA rifles on the line a Camp Perry with guys that know a little something about AR15 accuracy.
