New deer rifle for Ohio questions

220 Savage all day.

You was just joking, right? 🤫
More ammo for us, 😉

Yes, 100% joking. Savage sucks big time. Stay away from them

^^ y'all shooting SST's or Accutips in those 220's?

I've got friends with them and it's a mixed bag on what each particular gun likes.

Im leaning towards the 350 legend for 2 reasons its about .5 pound lighter than a bolt action and I could also use it for coyote hunting.

I’d go with the Ruger just because of price difference. AR upgrades are easily available if desired. Especially with $500 difference to spend. The availability of ammo for the 350L is mind boggling. On the coyote aspect, it can’t be used for nighttime in Ky, don’t know about Ohio.

I think a bolt action would have an accuracy advantage, but If this is your first AR platform, it’s not a bad choice. You now have ability to buy different uppers in the future. A $500 price difference is pretty drastic as long as you have a good barrel everything else is pretty much the same

We both use the Rem. Accutips. I have killed a couple with the SST's though and they're a close 2nd for me, can't speak for him on that.

3” Accutips were the best but the SST and Federal Trophy Copper weren’t bad. I haven’t tried the 2 3/4” Accutips but need to do so. I’m just a big fan of the 220s.

I also have a 22-250 AR

I think you would be happy with the Savage 220 or the 350 Legend. I have a Savage 220 and shoot the 2 3/4 Accutips and can vouch that it is a very capable and accurate gun. I don't own a 350 Legend but have done a little research and whenever I am in the market for a straight wall cartridge, the 350 Legend would be my choice.
