[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2815945, member: 42494"] I went through this decision last year. Ended up with a 6mmARC Savage 110 Tactical that shoots Hornady factory ammo in .25-.50 inch groups at 100yds. It's a SAAMI spec cartridge so no fireforming, etc. and no wildcat problems. At only $25 a box, I bought 100 rounds of 103, 105 and 108gr ammo to try and to breakin the rifle which gave me brass to reload. The factory ammo is downloaded for AR15 semiautomatic use, but Hornady produces hotter reload data for this bolt rifle. The Savage 110 Tactical uses the longer AICS bottom metal/magazines and a lighter Tactical Accutrigger than their standard Accutrigger. Savage has an even lighter Target Accutrigger in their target models. I'm really impressed with this inexpensive but accurate 6mmARC which is a 1200 yd rifle and good for hunting deer, varmints, etc. For clarification, I wouldn't use it for deer past about 500 yds, but it's good for steel and varmints to 1200 yds.
