Looking for a light, short, handy and cheap rifle to shoot steel out to 1000y or more, and also carry around in the truck on pigs.
Thinking the RAR Predator in 308 Win with the 18" bbl that looks slightly stouter than the RAR Compact. Going to probably shoot Dyer 155g bullets that are made here and much much cheaper than the 155 Scenars, that sell here for near 90c a shot. The Dyers run around 35c if bought by the thousand. They're very similar in profile and design to the Scenar to my eye.
Anyone know how the Predator is throated in 308? Favourable for getting close to the lands with a Scenar-esque bullet?
As for scope I was thinking of getting one of them 6x MQ SWFAs brought in by a mate who travels there. If I can't arrange same, is there anything in the Leupold line worth considering, as most of their stuff is available here?
Haven't been able to handle the 308 Predator in the gun shops close to me, so any hands-on drum anyone can give me would help a lot.
Thanks.
