Title: Bolt-action Rifles chambered in 5.56
Post by: Bigswedegml on November 26, 2014, 08:46:58 AM: Has anyone had experience with either the Ruger American Ranch rifle or the Mossberg MVP Predator? I am thinking of getting one or the other and was wanting some input. It would be nice to be able to use the same ammo as my AR in a bolt-action platform.

Post by: Kittman on November 26, 2014, 08:54:25 AM: I can speak to the LBA trigger that my Mossberg 100 ATR in .308 has. It is probably one of the best factory setups out there. The rifle delivers better accuracy than I could have hoped for. Not sure what the Ruger Ranch provides though.

Post by: swift on November 30, 2014, 08:39:16 AM: I picked up a MVP in 556 " for the grandson " and I'm impressed !
I have some high end guns and thought this little gun would b great starter
for my young grandsons , but it found it way as a permanent truck gun :)
And it shoots sub MOA with a load I already had built !! Thinking I might pick one up
in 308 you know for the grandkids :)

Yes

Post by: LEN on December 02, 2014, 04:35:41 PM: Here's a short article on the difference between the two rounds.
A accurate 5.56 may not shoot 223 so good.

Post by: Bluemoon on December 02, 2014, 05:45:47 PM: I picked up a Savage Axis in .223 this past October just for something fun and cheap to shoot. I am by no means a rifle shooter but it sure makes me look like I know what I am doing. This is at 109 yards with cheap ammo. This might qualify as a tack driver??
