RE: whats the smallest calliber you can use for predators?

RE: what is better for a first time .22 buyer?

Personally, I prefer the bolt actions.

If you want to just burn through ammo, semi autos are ok, but I don't usually do that, so I'm not at a disadvantage with a bolt action. I suppose if you...

RE: What's the difference? M16 vs. AR-15

The biggest difference is the M16 is capable of burst or full automatic fire. The AR15 is the civilian (read: semi-automatic) version of the M16. To stay legal make sure you don't use any M16 parts...
