Hi, i am now seriously thinking of getting a .223 heavy barrel rifle.
I got nothing that shoots 100yds with MOA accuracy. Their are so many choices out there.
I am a compulsive buyer and dont want to buy something i will regret. :roll: I really like the price of the Savage line, but love the style of the Tikka T3 Tactical, but i dont know when they will come out and the price.
I was thinking of getting a AR15 upper for my Bushmaster, but i would need a new trigger if i want to use it for long range. The trigger on my Bushmaster is very crisp, but in the 5-8lb range i bet.
I hate the Choate design stock on the Savage Model 10FP-LE2A, so i guess the regular stock and heavy barrel model 10FP or 12FV would be the ones. The accu-trigger is great too. I have felt the trigger on the Tikka T3, and it is great.
So my real options are the Savage 12FV, Savage 10FP, and Tikka Tactical.

It has a 1/12 twist not 1/9 like the Savages. I checked with some US retail/wholesale prices and it cost $1050-$1100. So double the price of the Savage. :cry:
