Heres the situation:
I have a .308 Savage Euro Classic, and am picking up a .223 Weatherby Vanguard Sporter.
I'd like to have a .243 "beater" for small game and to see if I would like to buy .243 Savage Euro Classic (about $800 or so). However, my budget doesn't allow me to buy that at this time.
I have about $400-450, and I saw a .243 Mossberg ATR Whitetail Lightning at Dick's - $349. It has a nice Monte Carlo comb wood stock (big plus for me) and feels "right." I know the claims that ATRs have had bolt problems, but have never seen any proof.
That being said, should I or should I not buy it?
