Rechambered in 223. Might be the ticket.

In small short actions , you have choices of:
Old Sakos and new Sako ,
Mini Howa, CZ , zastava, bsa.

Next kimber and cooper rifles,

In bigger actions: Remington 7 , tikka 55.
The next lot are heavier again: Remington 700, tikka t3,595 , Winchester 70, Howa 1500.
Then the very heavy stuff like tikka 590 and Barnard.
Personally I would go medium or small.

Actually the CZs are pretty good but I prefer the Weatherby / Howa for the flush mags. Zastava not far behind, but lack the finesse of the Sako and CZs. The Mini action Howas are pretty good, but I am not a fan of the 10 round box mags for the carry.
