Most accurate ''BUDGET'' .223 Bolt Action

[Airborn_69]

Which bolt action .223 rifle has the most bang for the $$$ in accuracy & quality??..I'll say anything under a $2000 budget...

Savage.
Spend the rest of your budget on optics (because you can't hit what you can't see) and on components (because we all need more trigger time)

Stevens 200.

 

[Savage]

Savage 12FV low cost and accurate

 

[manitou210]

223 best

Rem 700 Police 26" barrel 1/9 twist to shoot heavy bullets $900 and change

Rem 700 Police 26" barrel 1/9 twist to shoot heavy bullets $900 and change

it would be a nice match for your other rifle, they'll look like twins in the safe

savage, because a 700P aint exactly a budget rifle

Rem 700 Police 26" barrel 1/9 twist to shoot heavy bullets $900 and change

Not all 1:9'S will shoot 80 gr bullets. Some do very well. How about a heavy barrel Tikka T3 in .223 with a 1:8 twist? With good optics you will be under 2 grand.

 

[todbartell]

first thing I'd do is neck down that .233 to .223

 

[dangertree]

With good optics you will be under 2 grand.

Low budget?

EDIT: I see the budget changed

Savage, hands down, for an accurate, inexpensive rifle.

walkabout, Stevens 200. If you want a lighter trigger, Savage sporter.

12FV is you want a table top rifle. An option would be to throw it into a Boyds lam stock.

There is little reason you rifle can't cost between $400 and 600. The rest can be spent on optics and components. nikon buckmaster 4X14 or 6X18, Elite 4200 4X16 or 6X24, weaver 4X16 or 6X24.

You are shooting for $1000ish.

You could probably get a base model 700 (BDL) in 223. Have it blueprinted and re-cambered, bedded and you will have a tack driver. probably 1000-1200.00 If you wanna shout heavy bullets only, then buy the same rifle, get a 1/7-1/8 barrel in stainless (easier to clean) and have the same work done. Sell the take off barrel and re-stock it in synthetic. You will have another tack driver again for just a bit more.

Savage 12BVSS or 12 Varmint Low Profile. $700-$750, already in a good solid laminate stock, accutrigger is already there, just need a base, rings and a good scope.

What about a Remington SPS?

What about a Remington SPS?

I have an SPS and a Stevens 200. The way the stevens shoots it is trying to make me into an ugly gun lover, but the STS keeps me from falling into that trap.


either one would make a great investment.
