New at posting here but longtime browser of the interesting topics on this knowledgeable board.
Recently decided to buy a .223 bolt action for general plinking and occasional target shooting / maybe local competition. I'll be using my old but never before used Redfield Target 8X32X40 made in USA scope.
Looked at Remington, Savage, CZ, Howa, Sako, Tikka and more. I tried to combine a stock with a good comb for optics shooting, a 24"/26" bull barrel, a good adjustable trigger and a drop magazine. Some rifles could satisfy 2 or 3 of my requirements but only the Tikka T3 Tactical would combine all four.
Sako makes a fine TRG but not in .223. I thought of restocking a .223 Sako with a McMillan but the price shot up north of $2,000. Please let me know how you would proceed in my place. Thank you.
