.223 breach load bolt rifle

[Stevejp]

Hey guys! Looking for a bolt rifle chambered in .223 that breech loads. Gonna start saving up to buy something in the spring. The reasoning of this is I have an ar15 and love it. I have a lot of ammo in .233 (not 5.56) and would like a bolt rifle that shoots the same. The breech load is because I love loading my mosin and sks like this. It's just fun to me and a little different to see at the range. it would mainly be a range toy, but we have some targets on my uncle's farm that vary in range out to 500 yards and it's always fun to shoot. Preferably under $800 for the rifle. Thanks for any help!

All bolt-action, for that matter, all cartridge firing rifles are by design, breach loading, regardless of caliber.
There is no other way to get a round in the chamber except by breech-loading.

So pick one you like.

But, I'm not sure I understand your question?

You must have a different concept of "breach loading" than the rest of us.

What do you mean?
I'm right behind RC in the Confusion Line.

I'm assuming the OP means using an empty mag and dropping in one round at a time and loading it into the chamber (more like a single shot rifle).

 

[Kosh75287]

I'M thinking that he's using "breech loading" to mean "Not fed from a magazine", or more precisely, a single-shot of almost any description, perhaps like the break-open rifles made by H&R/New England Arms/whatever they're calling themselves this year.

 

[Stevejp]

I'm sorry to be vague. I was talking a about an internal magazine. Like the mosin nagant, you would push each round into a non detachable magazine through the breech.

 

[DPris]

As noted on the other channel, the breech is the rear of the action/chamber/barrel.

Breech loading is not loading into a blind or fixed magazine.
Breech loading means loading into the chamber, not the magazine, by whatever method (direct single- loading or from any type of magazine), as opposed to muzzle loading, with older front-end loading guns.

Dick's Sporting Goods carries Remington 700 ADL Varminter models in a variety of calibers. It's a mid-weight barrel, plastic camo stock, matte finish, blind magazine, and usually goes on sale for $399 in November.

I bought one when Remington had a rebate going, then spent more than the gun cost on a Ultimate Varminter stock and a Jewell varmint trigger. Mine's in .308, and you can cover five shots at 100 yards with a nickel.

Most standard bolt actions without a detachable mag offer what you are looking for. Ruger 77, Winchester model 70, Remington 700, Savage 10, etc. The Mossberg MVP can be top loaded also, and gives you the option of using any AR mag as well.

The breech load is because I love loading my mosin and sks like this.

This, to me, indicates that the OP is looking for the ability to use clips to load an internal magazine. I'm not aware of a bolt rifle, designed post-WW2, chambered in .223, that does such a thing. The 721/722 Remington series MIGHT, but beyond that...

 

[Stevejp]

The Savage 10 and Remington 700 are pretty much describe what I'm looking to get. Is either better than the other? In terms of accuracy, reliability and possible stock or trigger upgrades?

 

[joustin]

I like Savage a lot, the action on the 10 is longer than the 223 round so it's a little more travel than needed. I think the Savage 25 is shorter though. Either way I'd recommend the Savage or a Tikka T3

 

[Bezoar]

what the OP is saying, is that he has a very limited knowledge of firearms.

what he is looking for is a bolt action rifle that can be accurate out of the box and be used for 500 yard target practice and such like. get a savage.

 

[Stevejp]

Did some searching on the Tikka T3 and I am definitely considering it. I guess I could deal with the detachable magazine. I would like to have the muzzle threaded for possibility of suppressing. Can you get threaded barrels for it, or should I take it to a reputable smith for threading?

 

[DPris]

Gunsmith, I'd expect.

[Art Eatman]

Since the paperwork for a suppressor runs somewhere from six months to a year, there's plenty of time to find a gunsmith/machinist to thread a barrel. Many Class 3 dealers have a connection with a shop which can do the work.

The bottom rifle started out as Remington 700 Varmint Synthetic/.223Rem and I modified it for a short course (200yd) rifle. I've shot it out to 1000yd but that is with an after market barrel with 8" twist. None the less a standard Remington 700 is a good starting point in 223Rem
