[QUOTE="HunterMann, post: 2491741, member: 117098"] I would finally suggest that you consider buying an inexpensive, but accurate (ie Savage or Ruger American) bolt action in .223. Get a decent scope, a bunch of ammo; and get started learning how to shoot small groups at different distances. 223 ammo is readily available, inexpensive; and in my experience, accurate enough for prairie dogs out to at least 500-600 yards (depending on wind conditions). For under 1K you could be having fun and learning the game. You can upgrade the rig if need to, but in the meantime you will be gaining the experience and knowledge to make an informed decision if and when you want to go bigger and longer. [/QUOTE]
