Looking like Tikka Varminter 8t 223... W My thoughts exactly. SWFA on top Yup.

Creed CTR wouldn't hurt either. Depending on volume.

You will not be happy with anything mentioned on here. Save your money, get your budget up another 500$ and get a tikka rebarreled and a different stock. Don't need a different trigger, just a yodave trigger spring for 10$.

Who said a tikka were a disappointment? I have one for hunting and it's the best factory hunting rifle for the money period. However, he mentioned Ftr which I happen to currently hold two state titles in. There is no straight factory rifle that is competitive in these matches. Pick a action, have a cut rifled barrel mounted on it, put it in a long stiff stock or get used to losing. Tikka's are good donors to start with because they usually don't need truing and with a 10$ spring have a really good trigger.

I posted this elsewhere but it speaks to your issue. Stock .223 I bought used here in September. I finally got around to load development. 70 gr Nosler RDF, 24.5 gr TAC. P
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

I've won three F-TR State Championships, and a second place the 4th year, with a factory stock Tikka Super Varmint in .223 cal. So, I'd say that there IS a factory rifle here that would fit the bill.
I should have just bought a [bleep] T3...

The "0" moa pic rail, and adjustable cheekpiece are nice.
