Hey ill be getting a job this summer and i can save up around $500 or so. Im looking for a bolt action .223 rifle any idea of what to get? I dont need HIGH quality.
+1No, get a Remmy.
+1! And you will have a great action to build you first custom rifle in a few years! I am pretty sure Mel would discount the SC rifles if you supply your own action (in good condition). Something to think about. The Savage a decent rifle and some will shoot very well, but you need to look at what EVERY one else is using........What are the LEOs using? SWAT? Military? Not too many savages, mostly remington M700's! Do not get the model 7, nice little hunting rifle but it is NOT a tactical rifle. I know, I had one in 243 and it was no where near as accurate as my M700 BDL in 243.Mel said he can get a new SPS for $400, y not get that?
Get a .308
Yep, if its a 700 with floorplate (BDL or SPS) I give $300 creditcaver101 said:I am pretty sure Mel would discount the SC rifles if you supply your own action (in good condition). Something to think about.
1) Everyone I've met has had only remarked on the accuracy of Savages,caver101 said:The Savage a decent rifle and some will shoot very well, but you need to look at what EVERY one else is using...
