Title pretty much says it all. Looking for a dope learning rig - mostly to shoot at 100 and 200 yards at the range. Something to hone the skills with. Caliber will be 223. I love my T/C Venture in 204 and it shoots sub-moa groups even in my hands. Being that I currently don't reload... 204 gets spendy fast.
Trying to keep it in a "budget" range.
So far I have 3 picked out.
Tikka T3 Lite. Like the 8 twist. Smooth bolt and nice trigger.
Ruger American - 8 twist. Budget rifle. Local has it for 369 + tax and I can put it on layaway.
T/C - heavier than the 2 mentioned, but my 204 shoots great. Can wait till July and hopefully get in on another Mail in rebate, like I did last year.
Which one of these? Am I missing anything else out there?
Thanks,
JT
