did i call it or what.
drumb role please
id say any standerd bolt action in 223. the 223 in my opion is perfect as carry varmiter thatl reach to 300yds and beyond
im fond of walnut rugers. but the list goes on and on in what you can get and you can get it for under 500 bucks. even some under 400
22" barrel is great for its intended purpose.
if you wanted to spend alittle exstra the 223 rem light weight varmit rig would work wonders.
ruger rem win howa savage. the list goes on and on
im glad you finaly came around.
keep your eyes peeled 223s are common on the used gun racks and most all barrels wont ever have been shot out.
good choice
Evan
3-9 x40 would be great, but i alwasy seem to want more on varmit rig, ive found leupolds 4.5-14 to be a great all arounder.
even 4-12 would be just as good might even swing for a 6-18 leo. its all up to you.
