I'll have $700 to play with, so be gentle I reload for my AR15, so I'd like to stay with a .223 Anybody shooting a CZ Varmint? I know the reputation of their rimfires, does it go for the centerfires, too? Lets here what your happy with
I have a Tikka T3 Varmint (with 1:8" barrel), and it's easily one of the finest rifles I own from an accuracy perspective. Any rifle that can put the cheap Adcom 55gr fodder into sub-MOA groups has got to be pretty special.
+1 on the Remington LTR or a SPS tactical (the SPS cost less money).
Would the Tikka T3 Hunter work for you?
