My hunting buddy has a Mini-14 that has been heavily modified and shoots sub MOA with his handloads. Bobcats, coyotes, foxes, ringtails, etc. drop like flies when in the crosshairs of this baby. Problem is, the guy that mods the minis like this died a couple of years ago. Had a heart attack when his buddy had a shotgun blow up in is face. That's another story though.
I'd like semi-auto if possible because there are times when we're calling in dogs at night, and they come in one after another. Those nights are a blast. Bolt action is not out of the question, but I prefer semi-auto.
Accuracy is key, and I'd like to keep the modifications to a minimum if possible. I have an Armalite M15A4 that I could mod if necessary, but like I said, I don't want to do that if I can avoid it.
Most of our shots are between 50 - 100 yards at night with a red spotlight on the critters. The longest we've taken a dog was 125 yards at night.
Caliber? Well, obviously we use .223, but I'm open to others. I'll be handloading whatever I'm shooting.
Any advice, thoughts, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
