I have a carbine length AR 15. I would love a scout style rifle with a forward mounted scope. This is not for hunting or anything serious. I just want a fun bolt gun. That being said I want it to be more accurate than my AR. The Ruger gunsite scout for example comes with a 16" barrel much like my AR. I hear bolt guns are inherently more accurate than semi autos but does anyone here know if the scout in 223- using similar cheap 55g fmj target ammo- would actually achieve any real accuracy advantage? 308 is so costly and just getting a decent scope with the rifle would cost a pretty penny. if 223 out of a bolt gun with a 16" barrel is significantly more accurate than out of a semi auto I would find that to be perfectly acceptable for my purposes. But if not I'll have to save up and go 308. Thanks.
