.223. Save up for a 25" Harris bipod and you will have a ball.
A longer scope (4-12) makes life perfect.
Note other threads discussions re your barrel twist rate and pill size. Faster twist (1:8) = heavier pills (up to 75gn) instead of the usual 55gn. Which is fine through 1:12 twist barrels
And you can reload- though the H&F rebranded Hornady factory stuff works ok @ $1/shot
If you're using this calibre on larger animals (pig/deer) shot placement is vital. My .223 is not my go-to rifle if deer stalking.
