The ony 223 bolt rifle worth buying is the Savage because of the 1:9 twist will shoot up to the 77 match bullets. The slow twist guns and 40-55gr bullest really blow all over past 200 yards if there is any wind at all. Since we don't shoot indoors, I find them quite useless.
I was pulling for a 220 swift with the 1:9 twist so you could push 75 Amax and 77 HPBT and get some velocity out of it. You would be on your own for load development, but that would be a .224 long range gun.
