I am looking to get a new predator rifle; I want it to be light, short and accurate. I found three I like, the Remington Model Seven Predator, the Savage Model 10 Predator, and the Thompson Center Venture Predator.
All three of these guns weigh around 7 pounds, sport 22 inch fluted barrels, and come in the two calibers I am considering, 22-250 Remington and .223 Remington.
I don't like the Remington in 22-250 since it has a 1:14 twist, kind of limits my bullet weights, but the .223 has a 1:9 twist which I like. The Savage has a 1:12 for the 22-250, not too bad, and also a 1:9 for the .223. The TC has a 1:12 for both; don't care for the .223 with the 1:12 twist, and a MOA accuracy guarantee.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these rifles, and if so what sort of accuracy should/can be expected from any of these rifles out of the box?
Thanks for any input,
