Decided on the caliber but not so with the model. I have looked at the model 10 Predator with the accustock but would like opinions from those more familiar with the different models. Would like to keep the barrel length at 24" otherwise the 12FV seems to have good reviews. This rifle will be used for target shooting out to 500 yards and antelope hunting where my experience has been not much over 400 yards. Thanks for your suggestions. Bob
