I finally got my hands on my M4-2000 Suppressor, and besides a Rock River National Match AR as a host, i really want a bolt action gun. I have really got my mind believing that the Savage FCP-K or Precision Carbine in 223 is the best value for what I am looking to do. The magic answer is that they are almost identical guns except for the 20 inch versus 24 inch barrel. In 223 land, that is possibly 200 feet per second on a 69 grain bullet. That makes a big difference (in my head at minimum) out to the 600 yard mark for dog hunting.
Truth be told, if i could find any magical difference, besides the camo stock, i would instantly select one over the other, but I honestly can't bring myself to a final decision because of the fear that the extra speed can help get that longer range out of the 223, as i feel that i am starting to stretch it at those distance.
I don't see why either gun couldn't produce 1/2 MOA @ 100 yards, so am i just bouncing over a stupid difference or will the length be an true advantage.
Any advice or experience with the guns would be appreciated.
