What would be the best 223 bolt action rifle to get? I like rifles from Ruger, Howa, Tikka, Weatherby, CZ. I don't want something with a barrel a mile long. Something nice and light since the 223 doesn't have much recoil. I will get a heavy barrel when I get a .204 Ruger later on. Does anyone know if the Ruger compact rifles with the 16" barrels are very acuarate and if so, out to how far? Would it be better to mount a compact scope on a Ruger compact rifle to keep it all low profile? I already have a lot of brass and bullets for the .223. Now all I need is a rifle and powder and primers. Any advice is welcome. Thanks guys.
