I am looking to buy a 223 for mid range target shooting (300-500 yds) and moderate coyote and squirel hunting. After doing a little research i think I have narrowed it down to two rifles; Remingotn SPS tactical adn Savage 10fcp-k. I only have about $900 to spend and these seem like the best two options for my use. If I go with the Remington I will definitely get a nicer stock because the factory synthetic wont cut it. The Savage on the other hand has more features but costs more out the door about $200 for just the rifle so I may have to stay with the light accu stock for awhile. My question is what are your opinions on the two rifles. I know the savage has a little longer barrel and thus provide about 100fps faster velocity but I'm not quite sure the extra velocity is necessary. I have a few other Savages and I love the factory accuracy. It seems to be a little more hit and miss with the Remington. Also, I am fairly sure that the Savage has a little longer box length which would allow more hand loads. Any advice would be great.
