Hello,
I've been thinking that it might be time for me to fill the fill the vacant .223 varmint/target rifle slot in my inventory. I'm looking generally for a 1 in 9 twist heavy (but not too heavy) barrel bolt action with a good reputation for accuracy.
As it stands now, I'm leaning towards these rifles, in order of preference:
FN TSR XP
CZ 527 Varmint Target
Browning X-bolt Varmint Special
What kind of experiences have yall had with these rifles? I'm especially interested in the FN TSR, it doesn't seem to be that popular, but almost every review I could find spoke to it's stellar accuracy. I think If i wind up getting the 527 I will send it off to get the bolt handle adjusted... the high scope mounting required for 527's is what has kept me away thus far.
Aside from Remington 700's or Savages (I've had both and want to stick with other brands) , are there any other rifle options I should toss into the mix?
