Thread: Which bolt 223 to look out for

Ok, so from this im seeing that most 223 in country will or can do the trick, and in fact besides possibly finish and a few aesthetics the earlier comment that you may be paying a lot for not much more sounds about right, but i do appreciate an action that is smooth, hell ive owned a few clunkers for fun, Mosins, Carcarno's the odd enfield, hell i even lugged around an Omark .308 single shot around some hills, great for longer shots but man!

lets look at this a different direction, which again will be rather subjective. what is nice to have and what is needed.

i'll put my head a little on the block to get a healthy conversation going, again im biased as im looking for a rifle that i can have good repeatable accuracy, one i can reload for to obtain well under sub MOA, im a fussy bugger when it gets to accuracy, my previous semi auto on a good day was .3 moa 4 round groups.

happy with barrel length around 20inch last rifle was 18inch which wasn't cumbersome, 2 inches more isn't going to be the death of me, plus it had a muzzle break. I would like to have a higher magazine capacity- so the ability of an after market mag also allowing seating depth options would be nice.

Rates of twist, 1/7 1/8 1/9 ?? i do appreciate a slightly heavier projectile than 55gr but have a few projectiles needing to be pulled so thats a wee supply of them, but i can see the benefit of 70gr projectiles, and now this is a bolt rifle im not going to consume the same amount of projectiles i did with my old semi.

ive been warned away from recent/newer remington's which i was surprised about, im also unsure around heavier barrels and fluted barrels, so thoughts on 223, need not needed?
@mudgripz i will give you a bell soon and come over and have a look at your rifle.

Another reason im asking is that some new shooter may stumble onto this and it could be a useful read, even give them options a different price points?
