My next gun buy. Always wanted a 223 bolt gun. Any suggestions? Stanag mags a plus, but definately not required.
I like remington and savage just because of aftermarket support. I’ve had several of both. I recently got back into a rem 700 tactical and love it. Got from a pawn shop. I don’t mind used as long as the actions and trigger aren’t beat up. Mine has a 20” 1-9 twist and shoots 55gr soft points and 75gr bthp really well. I didn’t even work a load up for the 75s, I just took the rounds I shoot in my ar and tried them. I took mine and had it threaded. I’ll eventualaly replace the barrel with a 1-8 so I can shoot other bullets that I want that the 1-9 won’t. But I’m happy with it. the target is 55gr and n130. Shot 2 then adjusted windage to get over the corner of the target. It’s my general purpose round. 55gr Hornady btsp. They run about 3300fps
After a decent one. I like the idea of the Savage, as I have tooling to change barrels. The Ruger is interesting for the mags, but a lot of there products are kinda iffy. I was kinda fishing for others experience.Do you really want “the best”, or simply something decent?
Budget?
