I'm ok with them passing semi autos for predators. I don't currently own one. Could never justify the price tag for a gun I couldn't hunt with. With that said, I'm considering purchasing one chambered in 5.56/.223 I rushed the shot on my bobcat this year. A follow up shot was needed. Luckily, I was able to work the bolt and get a good second shot to seal the deal. How often does it happen? Not very, but it sometimes does. It's part of the human condition. Lol
