I am using an x-bolt now in 223.
But I was using a CZ 527 in 223 for a long time.

I'm the same way, I use a tac pro riser on my main hunting rifle. It's a bell and Carlson stock, I wouldn't dare install on a beautiful wood stock mind you.
Tikka T3 light 22-250 with Leica 2.5-10x42
That's a nice setup. Been thinking about getting a Leica scope for a while now. How do you like it?
I have long used an older, tang safety M77V Ruger in 220 Swift for the bigger varmints.
A couple of years ago, I acquired [basically free] a model 11 Savage sporter in 22-250 with
the throat completely gone for about 6"
Had a .224 takeoff HB from a 40X that I turned into a long range rig laying around, so sent
it all off to Guntech to make me a 225 Winchester. [I had lots of components, etc around]
It came back, looking fine, as expected, and it has proven to be a very accurate rifle, even
shooting factory 55 grain Winchester ammo sub-moa. I have since put it in a Varmint stock
and bedded it. My 50 grain Ballistic tip load holds about .45moa, and the 52 Sierra into .35moa.
Ballistically, the 225 gives up little to the 22-250, so this is a fine coyote killer that just needs to
go afield to do it's thing.
Also have a 700 "Classic" in 222 Remington...fine out to 275 M. or so. It likes the 50 V-Max best.
If I really want to reach out, I have a Benchmark Heavy barrelled 6mm Remington with a 1-8" twist
to spin those 105 Bergers or Scenars. ¼moa with either. I use this rifle for 1000 yard competition.
No shortage of Varmint rifles....just need to get out there and add a few to the "dead" list.

Here's the 2 I use all the time. Savage 10 synthetic in .243 with reinforced forend, glass bedded, cheek riser, RB trigger and a Bushnell 4200 4-16x50 or a TC Contender with .223 barrel and Vortex 4-12x40.

Here's my go to yote gun. Savage 10 xp in .223 but it wears a Zeiss 3.5-10 now.
Here's my backup, Stevens 200 in .223 as well with a Cabelas varmit scope.

Mind you with the monte carlo stock the Weatherby has its not AS bad, I still wish a riser would fit well on it... It just takes an extra second to get proper sight picture... Not a shoulder and ready like my guns with proper cheek risers or high stocks.
I always like to see Contenders being used fun little walk about guns.
Here is an old pic of my Contender in 223.
Just sold my most fun coyote gun XCR-L in 223
My longest in use coyote wolf rifle is my old tang safety Ruger M77 26" barrel in 22-250 shot this wolf at over 200 yards across the frozen Fraser River I'm 6'2" and this is just a medium size wolf.

I've never owned or tried a scoped rifle that didn't require a cheek riser. Must be my devastating handsome pronounced jaw line... LOL
Wish I didn't need them. Less clag, less weight, more streamlined. At the same time I see many hunters around here with the tell tale chin weld because they don't seem to know better.
I don't get the see through ring thing at all. (yes I get the theory). The "cheek" weld difference is HUGE.
When you work really hard at your cheek weld in precision shooting you observe how the smallest change imparts change at the other end. Given this the see through rings are ..... entertaining.
