[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3351385, member: 5412"] Agree with all the above on the .223, .22 mag, and .17 WSM. I own all but the WSM and have seen the effects of the .17 WSM at the ranges your talking about. It probably has the least recoil of any of the above, zero issues with killing humanely and the ammo is not expensive. All that being said, it would be to your advantage since the wife is in cahoots with buying a new gun to go the AR route. :rubhands: The hype around it with all the accessories and mods can be kind of mind boggling, but when you build one yourself, it becomes like a light being turned on over your head and you will think why in the heck have I not done this before? It's a very simple platform in its design. Nothing needed but a FMJ bullet for a field strip to separate the upper from the lower and clean everything inside. I would volunteer to show you the platform at any time or place to let you know how it operates so you can make your own decision. Factory loads down to .45 grain are available for even lower recoil and higher velocity than the standard .55 grain. [/QUOTE]
