Mossberg MVP vs Tikka T3X OR best 223 for $$...?

Thank you all very much for your help, I should have mentioned it before but I have purchased a Tikka T3X, Originally I did just the blue model, but I upgraded it to the stainless because it was only 100 bucks extra, and I like stainless… Friend works at gun shop and it was just over 900 bucks, hopefully I will get it in the next day or two!
The only thing no one at store has been clear with is whether or not it is safe to shoot 5.56 ammo?

Chambering is just ever so slightly different between 5.56 and .223 rule of thumb is that .223 is fine out of a 5.56 but not always the other way around but you'd have to check with the manufacturer to be sure. Lots of people do it and don't think twice about it though but like anything it's "use at your own risk".

Yes, thanks bro, I did know this, but I did not know if the same rules applied with a bolt action, being that it’s usually of much stronger build… I guess the same rule applies no matter what the action
