Since the election, I havent shot nearly as much as I normally do, mainly trying to ensure I have/keep enough components on hand. I'm growing weary of playing that game - so am considering alternatives. The 223/5.56 comes to mind. Ammo seems readily available and reasonably inexpensive.
So - in the 223/5.56, what rifles come to mind? I'd prefer a Kimber of some sort but they apparently dont chamber a 223 any longer in any of their offerings. Plus, I'm not keen on spending $10-1500 on a rifle that will get shot with all manner of ammo, plus alot of it.
The Ruger Ranch and American come in 223, Howa has one, as does Savage and TC. Rem has one but seem to be scarce and fetch a premium dollar.
Anyone shooting a 223 for the same reasons? Pros/cons of cheaper bolt actions?
Buy a Defiance AnTi and make it how you want it.
Well that will cost more than 1500 though. The barrel is going to wear out regardless. If you have a “cheap” rifle are you going to rebarrel it?
