Kurt,
No Ruger 223 for me. I do own a Savage Storm. It’s accurate, trigger is decent, no creep and breaks around 4 pounds. Typical not very smooth Savage action. It has a small roll to fill and that is to sit beside the back door in case I see a yote, coon, skunk, etc across the pond.

As mentioned, Cooper does make a single shot bolt action, as well as the bolt action repeater in 223. And Dakota makes the Predator round action. All of those are higher cost than the Tikka for sure, but accuracy is pretty much a given.

The Tikka Sporter is one I have looked at in the past. But, it's sort of an oddball. No doubt the accuracy would be incredible. I suppose it could be restocked, but that's an expensive barreled action donor.

Had a CZ 527 American did not like the ring height for the bolt clearance later models supposedly had the bolt changed for lower clearance.

Just had a bit of a surprise. I have a RAR Predator in 6.5 CM and removed the barreled acton so I could begin to sand down the barrel channel of the stock. I looked at the trigger (for the 1st time) and noticed it is a Timney trigger. I may have known this and simply forgot but it still surprised me.

I've heard others here pour something into the compartments of these inexpensive stock forearms in order to firm them up. Has anyone done this and if so, what product did you use or see used? Thanks.
