    Rifle. That ATV isn't big enough to get out of it's own way.

    Default Rifle or ATV?

    I'll toss a vote for the rifle. I have the 300cc version of that ATV and I wouldn't go any smaller for an adult.

    Besides, it's easier to haul a rifle out to the woods than it is an ATV.

    Ain't much chance of ATV's being banned.

    you can always buy a ATV

    ALL THE ABOVE and you're talking a 13-14yr old ATV. Having dealt with ATV's from a parts counter side. You'd be surprised what is and is no longer available for them, even ones 5-6 yrs old.

    Another vote for the rifle if it's in decent condition. I was going to say there's no BGC for the ATV but it's 13+ years old and underpowered. No brainer here.

    and since it's 13 years old, parts might be an issue to fix anything that dry rotted while the guy let it sit for 10 years.

    I was going to suggest the rifle because it would be easier to flip.

    There's no BGC for the rifle either... I'm stationed in NC most of our rights aren't considered "illegal" here yet


    Well I went with the rifle. The wife was pissed when I told her, but then I showed her a pic of it and she's not so pissed anymore.
    The rail is definitely that one in the link... Its stamped "TROY." I think the bipod is a knockoff Harris, I'm not sure how to tell the difference but I can't find any markings on it.
    The lower is definitely an RRA, but the upper has a logo above the charging handle that doesn't look like RRA... I'll get a pic of it later but I think its an A with a T in it or something like that. Didn't recognize it. I test fired it in my backyard before we finalized the deal and it shoots nice.
    The rail is tan and I think the stock is black, but both have black spray paint on them. Any idea how to get the paint off without damaging the factory finish on the rail?

    If it's a rock river upper, in between the picatinny towards the rear it should have a laser etched RR logo. At least mine does anyways.
