Looking to get a new predator rifle and i started out with my options wide open and narrowed it down to two rifles. The two I picked are COMPLETELY different platforms so im breaking it down to criteria. If i get a D tech it will be chambered in .223. If i go with savage It will be also be in .223 but .204 is also an option. So here is the criteria.
Accuracy (savage 1:9 twist 22' heavy barrel w/ accu trigger, Dtech 1:10
Weight
Reliability
Price.
I have handled the Savage in person and really liked the feel.I have never handled a Dtech but would assume it is similar to most other AR's except with a little better balance due to the heave barrel. My main concern with the Dtech is the Gas system keep in mind i live in interior alaska where the temps in our season run from 30 above to 50 below. When it is that cold the gas system tends to be horrible based on my experience with the army and shooting our M4's up there at 40 below. With the bolt action you cannot go wrong.
I know this is a long post and most of it kind of rambles on but im stuck between a rock and a hard place. I would love to have both but right now the wife says no.
