It all depends on what your looking for. Most bolt action rifles are more accurate than a AR-15's, AR-15's can throw more lead....... like i said it depends on what you want. I personally use a Savage 10FP .223 Tactical. I love it, I can hit yotes way out there. It has a 1-9 twist ratio. Its crazy what .223's can do to small rodents and bigger animals! I would suggest a Bolt action Savage. I have a few savages and i love them all, they are all tack drivers!
