Opinions are like..... well, we all know how that ends....
i'm looking for a bolt action rifle in .223 with a scope and i want to be able to hit what i aim at out to... say... 300yds
i've pretty much decided on .223 over .308 just for cost, weight, etc....
i'm not looking for a hunting rifle, though, i wouldn't mind hunting bullseyes and tight shot groups at 100, 200... maybe even 300
i've read reviews, people saying the 700ADL isn't terribly accurate out of the box (as compared to what?) i've also read that the Axis XPs are tack drivers out of the box....
ability to shoot 5.56 el cheapo ammo for plinking would be a plus... i've heard tell of a wylde chamber in the savages, not sure about the remingtons... budget here is about $400
the remington is on sale at ****'s $200 off and there's a $50 rebate by mail bringing it to about $400
i've seen Axis XPs online for just under $400 (but haven't seen any in a retail environment locally...
so, anyone own either rifle? anyone have an opinion on the relative accuracy of either?
if anyone were going to suggest a different model or different manufacturer, the other thing these two rifles have in common is that they come with scopes.... cheap scopes granted, but a cheap scope is more useful than no scope
