So, as it turns out, the only 223rem I own is my NMA2 AR15 service rifle. I enjoy shooting some fun matches on a silhouette range occasionally, and thankfully with irons I'm still in the running against scoped 24" heavy barrel ARs and can hold my own using thrown charges of RL15 in mixed LC brass with cheap PRVI 75gr bthp bullets.
I'd like a cheap bolt action 223 built into an accurate range toy, not anything specific pertaining to rules, nor anything like a full-on F/TR gun either. An honest half moa to 500m, even if needing careful loading is perfectly fine.
My options include a Howa Mini barreled action, new bolt and remage barrel for one of my 700's, or whatever may be suggested by y'all for an inexpensive build.
I have spare AR15 parts sitting around, but with 3 match grade ARs (2x6.8spc, 1x5.56) and lackluster trigger options, I'd rather go bolt. Yes, my 6.8spc guns outshoot most peoples 5.56 guns, but I'm wanting another 5.56/223.
What say you?
