Do you reload? A 223 can be very effective with heavier bullets. 16” is going to hurt you a bit, but you should be able to get that guy out quite a ways while you work on your fundamentals. I run a 223 ai with 80-85g bullets out to 900 all the time, but it has a 24” barrel too.
Personally, shoot that Ruger until you either can afford to move up to a tikka. I don’t have any experience with the REM, but every factory tikka I’ve been around hammers.
End of the day, practice is going to do you the most good, and a 223 can provide that ins very affordable package
