At my age, and with eyesight failing, I’m sticking with my Winchester 1300 “Defender” and a variety of pistols. I still have my .22-250 if I can see well enough to reach out and touch someone. I wish there had been “black rifles” around when I was younger.

Love the caliber. I have my dad’s 788 Remington. Shoots well even with the old style weaver scope on it, which scope has the look of one of those scopes on a rifle Josey Wailes used in the movie! My 22-250 in a model 700 is beyond accurate at distance, can punch out Xs all day at 200 with new Hornady 55gr v max.
When my eyes began letting me down (at 71)went for more magnification! Redfield 4x14s were a fine choice for me.
One other bene, the bolt action keeps the cost of ammo down!
Don’t get me wrong though, I love the 556 ARs, just for other uses.
