Better to invest in a .223 or a PCC for competition shooting.

Not precision ofc, but on the move kind of stuff.

Any help is awesome! Please if you’re able to state pros and cons to whatever side you suggest (ammo, versatility, models, prices, etc.)

Thanks everyone!

Ruger PC 9 take down and FX9 will be good for comp shooting.

As for 223, I cant think of one as all of them is either price issue or reliability issue.

Maybe the new BCL Siberian?

Yeah the biggest advantage with going the PCC route is the options

Very curious on the Siberian - just need to see how it fairs for reliability

Yeah, when it comes down to option, there isn't much left for 223 rem.

T97 I like but most people don't want. RDB is good but I am not sure how relaible it is. SL8 heavy and too expensive. WK, well, It's WK. MCR, need some tweaking Bren 2 is currently restricted and too pricy. But great if you can afford it. B&T is too expensive R18 MK2, a bit expensive but doable Famae, too expensive, but good if you can afford it.

BCL might be the only one left if it's good after reviews and tests

tavors are also up there, but not sold on bullpups quite yet

Oh yeah, forgot X95. But still expensive, but will probably the most balance.

Honestly, if you can compete with PCC, it might be cheapest option now.

I wouldn't mind to go in with my T97, after all, it's what you are most comfortable. I heard people also do it with SKS, lol.
