Self Justification

So I have been trying to justify to myself why I bought an AR, never been overly fond of them, much prefer my levers, bolts and single shots. It has come to me though, that one glowing point in favor is economy. I have one other 22 caliber centerfire, it is a 22-250, when I look at the performance of the .223 when compared to the amount of powder burned, and then look at the 22-250, I begin to wonder why I didn't pick up a bolt action .223. I will still take a bolt, or a lever, or a Ruger #1 over an AR, but I am feeling better about owning one, it may make a first class varmint gun in the long run.

Been out sick, and am finally on the mend, going to be searching for a good chiropractor next.

- The .223 is indeed a very 'efficient' cartridge. -
