I was a firm bolt gun owner. About 4yrs ago my brother picked up his first ar. Shot as good if not a little better than his bolt guns. I got my first one a year later. Factory off the self RRA predator. Shot it. Didn't like the feel of it. Shot it somemore. Shot some really great groups with it. Got another one (R-25) in 243. Got another one. Took all the bolt guns and ar's to SD prarie dog hunting this summer. My oldest grabbed the 223 bolt gun and I grabbed the r-25 went to shooting. About 20min later he wanted to go get the predator. All the while my dad was shooting his 22-250 bolt gun. We took a break and went out to inspect some damage. Ranged back to the shooting position. Longest one shot kill with the r-25 was just over 450yds. Longest one that I made with the predator was 375. And the longest shot that my dad had was 350yds. But what made me a firm ar shooter was that I went 5 for 5 on one dog mound at 200yds as I rolled the first one the second one made a mad dash for the hole and rolled that one and so on and so on. All the while my dad was watching and It made him a firm as fan after that. He is now a first time ar owner. And I gues what he told me that day will stick with me. If you can roll that many that fast I might have to get one because they sure must beable to group. And all my ar's are factory guns. The 243 really doesn't tear up the yotes too bad either.
