What's the best deal out there now on a heavy/bull barrel bolt-action 223 rifle?
I'm gonna pull the trigger on one, thanks.

Savage 10 FP-SR or Savage 12 FV both come in less than $600.00 and from everything I've heard are well worth their money.
I would say the Howa is probably the best deal right now, especially if CDNN is offering them for $389. The Savages used to be the best bargain, but their prices have gone up quite a bit the past several years. Still a good solid accurate rifle, but not the bargain they once were. I got pretty good deals on both of mine, a Remington 700 SPS Varmint and a Weatherby Vanguard Varmint Special, both in .223 Rem, several years ago. Both now sport Timney triggers and shoot pretty well. If I was shopping for one today, I would probably try to find a deal on a Howa 1500 Varmint in .223 for a bargain rifle. If I wanted the best shooter, I would probably opt for a Savage or a Tikka.cdnn has the heavy barrel howa .223 for $389 right now.
The Savage 12FV is a 1:9.I had my mind set on a Howa but it does have a 1:12 twist and this might be a deal breaker for me.
Who makes a 1:8 or 9 twist in a bolt action 223? Preferably in a heavy barrel too.
After shipping and FFL fee they would come in as much as $650.00 try Gun Broker or Davidsons Gallery of Guns, Bud's Gun Shop has good prices on them too.I've seen them a touch over 6, but never under. Who has them for less than 600?
