[QUOTE="thumbs, post: 924464, member: 624"] Been doing a lot of home work trying to find the rifle for me. I do have a budget so 600+ dollars for a rifle and then a scope is a bit to much. Anyway, the heck of it is I like all the rifles talked about in the thread. Each has it's pro's and cons. I am hung up on, and I know I gotta let it go, the fact I have a bunch of 5.56 that I would like to use in whatever bolt rife I finally decide on. The only one I know of that is made in 5.56 is the Mossberg MVP in several variations. I read a lot of good reports but it is a new rifle and I don't believe everything I hear on any rifle. Sure would be nice to be able to use the 5.56 I have on hand though. I am looking for what everyone else wants, an accurate rifle that will shoot almost anything well. I also would like it to go 3 to 400 yards. I know that's out there and I,personally probably won't hit anything at that range but would like to be confident that the rifle could. I do like the T/C predator but not the scope. I can get the package for about 425 or so but I would have to put a scope on it. Kinda defeats the purpose. The other thing is it has a 1:12 twist.
