Go with a Weatherby Vanguard or get the exact same Howa barreled action from Brownell's and stock it yourself. Either way you will be getting a hinged steel floorplate/ bottom metal. . I agree with SBRMike. I had one in a 243 (Howa 1500) and sold it to fund a custom build for a 6.5x55 Mauser that will be using a Pre 64 Mod 70 action. That little Howa 1500 was STUPID ACCURATE!!

I bought the Brownells Mini 223 Threaded Sporter version, a Stocky's VGM sporter seconds stock and the Oregon Gunsmithing BDL bottom metal, rifle with rings and bases is 5.6lbs. Once I get the action fitted to my liking, pillars installed and action bedded, I will post some pictures. This stock at 20oz is worth every penny. ![[Linked Image from texashuntingforum.com]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/11/full-25419-371361-1ed31bee_6047_4ce3_9320_7d6c663cab8b.jpeg) ![[Linked Image from texashuntingforum.com]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/11/full-25419-371362-e0b30727_7fa0_4f8a_99ea_f8c499d6bcd4.jpeg)

A 75 Finnlight would be the only thing I’d consider in from Sako for this specific gun. Not sure they made one in 223? I’ve had 25 Sako’s over the years. All of them shot well and some exceptionally well YET I was dumb and sold them… 20/20 hindsight. I’ve got it too lol Maybe I missed all the details of exactly what you are looking for, I would have a hard time passing on this

I got one of the new cz 600s. Great trigger and shoots tiny groups. Its not fancy but it had the twist rate I wanted so I tried it. Very happy with it for the money.

how about a 700 lvsf in 223, got one I haven't used in a long time, might be will to sell I had one and sold it. I do things on whims evidently. If I can get into a 223 bolt gun I like for under $400 that’s where I am at this point. My daughter kinda busted my plan up. I wanted it for her and she went and shot her first deer on thanksgiving with a 6.5 creed. So now the urge has subsided. I’d still buy, but it’s purely just to scratch an itch.
Regards,
Nick- Georgia

Sharps I got it and responded. There is one person on here that if we make a deal I’ll buy his. He’s been generous with his time and pics. If this doesn’t pan out, I’ll scrap project. Just an itch I had as I wanted for my daughter. I was concerned about her ability to handle recoil and not get intimidated. She killed here first deer on thanksgiving with a 6.5 creed and it was perfect! So now the 223 is just something that is only an itch.
Regards.
