I have had a few the RA Pred. models and they all shot good. The price has climbed to around the $500 mark on these and if you plan on upgrading the stock (which I feel it needs) you are now in the Tikka CTR price range. If I found a really good deal on a 223 in the RA Pred. l might think about it, but as was stated on an earlier post, at $500 mark, it is an easy pass.

I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
