I`m looking at getting a rifle in .223 for ranch/farm use. want onw with detach mag. what are your recommendations? And i do`nt want a scope on it.
 
First thought was a Savage edge/axis, but you said no scope next thought is a Ruger mini 14. You could always have a gunsmith install iron sights on the Savage, a Williams peep that bolts onto the rear scope base holes and a bolt on front ramp.
 
I was thinking you would like this.
Remington Model 7615P Pump Action Patrol Rifle

You can buy 10 round magazines that the AR guys are using and with a couple of those at hand, it would make a great farm gun. Coyotes beware :)
 
I have a CZ527 and its one of my absolute fave rifles. Have 2 CZs already and there may be more. Accurate, reliable, and very nice to look at. The CZ527 is a Minimauser action and weighs in the same weight as my 22 lr so its a nice carry.
Others have been trying to buy it off me since I brought it home.
 
Wait and see if an AR-15 becomes a possibility for us. According to the folks at Shooting USA, the AR-15 has become the most popular sporting rifle platform down there. If not, there's always the Mini-14 or the small action CZ if you prefer a bolt gun.
 
I would say find an older savage 340. They came in 222, or 223 and have iron sights, detach mags, and you will not cry if its bouncing around in the back of a tractor and gets scratched...

should be able to find one in the $300 range

works well around my place
 
I would say get yourself a CZ 527, I own one with the FS, of coarse if it is bouncing around in the back of a tractor I don't know how long it would last.
Like Ardent said great mag and great sights, great action and barrels.

It sounds like you want a mini14. But I would buy an xcr like said by camp cook. Until the AR goes non res. Lol , I wish.
 
Ah, I thought I missed something.

Nope just a lot of guys dreaming out loud me included...

There will be no reclassification until we push for it and as of now that hasn't been happening on the levels that it needs too be done at.

Not saying it isn't going to happen just saying its not in the cards right now...

:(
