Looking for some suggestions on a Predator rifle. Calving season is coming up for me and I don't want to take my pristine 222 out on the tractor with me anymore and damage it.
The budget rifles that have come out in the last few years seem to be very well suited to this task, however after looking at the Savage Axis I was turned off by putting such a short predator cartridge like 223 in a long action. Do any of the budget rifles such as the TC Venture, Ruger American etc use a short action?
If not I might just end up building out that stripped AR15 lower that I have been saving for a rainy day.
