The little CZ's are awsome, too. I just personally cannot like the bass ackwards safety and know of no place to get a different one for those little rifles.


I would much rather have a small action light 223 in an 8 twist for around $800 but I don't think such an animal exists. The Tikka may be large, but it's light and I bet it shoots very well.


In that case, might as well go full retard and build on a P-17 Enfield. Could likely get one put together for even less than $800.

Nah.....buying a Tikka when a small action is the primary qualifier is the definition of "Going full retard".

It's an action built by the Germans or the Russians or something. Not sure which.

Had a Sako Riihimaki for a while in .222. Loved it. The dealer called for it back as he had bought some stolen guns and it was in the batch. I'm still looking. Vixen ok as well.

Neighbor kid has the described Tikka. It shoots lights out, but there is no soul.

I see that the new Zastavia is polished outside and nicely blued. The crap is the wood finish and the inside of the works. I can handle that work, if it comes to it.

SSV, the single shot heavy bbl does not turn my crank. Already have the G2.

I supposed I could adjust to the safety and magazine on the CZ, but I'm not in a rush.

I actually have the cash for a new Sako. Just seems dumb to take the instant depreciation on the new model. Used, is another matter. Buy right and there is little to no loss of value if one takes care of it.

Thanks, I'll keep looking. Your input is greatly appreciated.

No, what's retarded is not having the reading comprehension to know that I only suggested the Tikka based on weight, and having to continue arguing, about something that only matters because you have to feel superior. I honestly don't care what he chooses and was only trying to help the OP.

I'm the one lacking reading comprehension? The initial post indicated the OP doesn't want a Tikka, but you suggested it anyway.

Where are you seeing $1400 Kimber Montanas? Try 1150ish new.



Thanks, for the English lesson but I know what svelte means.

$1359 plus shipping and FFL fees comes to over $1400. Where are the $1150 ones? I want to buy one. Once again, I did not say the Tikka was svelte, only light with an 8 twist.



There's not a whole lot of Montana .223's out there, but I picked up a NIB one last month for 1000.00. I had been trying to buy it at that price for a year as it had been 1050, than got bumped up to 1150.00 but I finally got my way.

A person can order one from most places (6-9 month wait) for around 1150-1175.00


Anyways... I picked up a Sako Riihimaki a couple years ago for 500.00 and change. I probably had bid on 50+ of them, but by the grace of god one day I was in the right place. It wasn't perfect, probably 85% but it's a nice little gun.

You're right, and so was PG. I was thinking twist and weight only with the Superlight Tikka. Sorry I suggested it and sorry I got pissy with PG. I just felt like I was being dumped on and called retarded. I would have responded directly to the last post by PG but there were too many layers of quotes. So, sorry everyone.

I have a Browning A-Bolt Micro Hunter in .223 Rem. 20" barrel. Twist is 1-12. Very accurate. Mine is in new condition. I think the model was discontinued in 2004. I don't use it because of the nice finish on the wood stock. I plan to sell it.

I have bought several of the Sako A series rifles used, like new condition for less than $800. I kept the .223 & .243, covers all my varmint shooting needs. Keep your eyes peeled for these as they bring less money than the identical L series rifles. Hope that helps.

Incorrect, the LSA 55 and M 55 are short and light enough...and reasonably cheap.

It's what a little 223 should be.

No they are a light 22.250 length with a short magazine...if you want a 222 length action with a Mauser extractor then you would do well to chase up a BSA hunter from the 50's.

Interarms Mini Mauser in 223 would be worth a look
