    You may find the extra kick of the .223 versus a .22 irresistible once you start tapping those targets quickly with a centre fire semi.-auto. A quality .223 (or larger caliber) semi. really can help one to produce quite a smile once the fun factor kicks in, making the cost of some decent Hornady 55FMJ's a pleasure to buy (my preference anyways when I can find them).

    Happy shooting Carverk, which is exactly what your shooting experience should be once your cache of ATRS goodies are all Zeroed-In.

    Sightrons are great, have one on my .308. An nope, weight isn't a huge concern.

    Target shooting at the range and Coyotes, sounds like the more magnification the better (to a point anyways); I'd be looking at a variable with a max. x12 to x18 power myself. Also regarding the scope Brianma65 mentions, I've only heard good things regarding Sightron optics from trusted and knowledgeable sources.

    I have two Norinco M14 and two SKS there Great Rifle for truck and on the boat
    But I have a preference for light short rifles all my barrels for the T/C ProHunter are 15" all my 22 have 12" barrels my 3 mares legs have full stocks
    It probably a good thing ATRS doesn't make short barrel hunting rifles or thay would be getting more money out of me haha

    I have a dream...

    Sorry to get off topic but I just got to say if a company (not me as I have not the skill nor money to do this) were to make a modern sporting rifle that was a pump and that rifle used a proprietary mag. Said rifle could have a 30 rd mag and have a barrel under 18.5 inches and be non-restricted. Said rifle would sell huge in Canada. Something like the Troy PAR but different mag. I think Dlask tried this and was determined by Ottawa to be an AR perhaps because it used too much AR in the design.

    Just saying.

    I really hope the noveske nsr I sent to them works with my rifle. Just concerned in the gas block area as it is quite narrow there.

    I'll thirds that. I think by corporate by-law, the motion has carried, and they must now start making 6.8 uppers. After they have finished my gun, that is.

    If they can, a 6.5 Grendel upper would just be amazing! Has that been discussed yet?
