Hey everyone, I've been looking for my first hunting rifle and have it narrowed to these two specific models, both in 243. Live in western Nebraska, with mostly open country or some river woodlands. Going to be using it mostly for deer or coyotes, as well as punching paper. I have shot a lot growing up it has just always been friends rifles. I can get the TH XP for 556 over at tombstone tactical with the Nikon BDC scope package. Or the 14 for 619 no scope, NIB so obviously the bases, rings, and glass would be on top of that cost. I prefer the look of the 14, but is there anything else that would warrant the extra cost? If your recommendation is the 14 do you have a base, ring, scope combo that would be nice for about 3-400 dollars? Looking for a rifle that will serve me well for years to come.

Thank you in advance.
