Sooo campers, what are your thoughts on a reasonably priced .223 bolt action boom stick manufacturer for range and varmints? I keep getting stuck on the Ruger American for the price point and current ratings. Thoughts?

The axis xp can be had same price ish as the American And is great right out of the box!
Don’t have any experience with the American but relatives and friends have the axis or axis 2 (axis with accutrigger and slightly better scope) and they all love theirs

I hate mossberg more than biggerhammer hates tikka, so I'd say avoid them
I seriously hate Tikka's but the bottom line is, they kill stuff just the same! I'll never own one, be seen with one or have a WUSS that owns one, be near me, in my truck or in my camp.
I like to rock a Rem700 for Yote's and Chuck's.
Rem700.. 77gr Nosler CC.

I love the CZ 527s, but they're a step up in price over guns like the Axis, Ruger Predator and the other low cost guns.

The Ruger Americans seem to be the gun to beat right now. I just don't like the action on them, all the one's I've felt have been gritty and rough.

:yeah:
If a person is looking for something in the price range of a new CZ 527 I don't think you'll be disappointed. I've got three of them now, all in different cartridges, and for a off the shelf factory gun, they're sweet little rifles.
I really don't have much need for one but every time I see Yorke's little CZ 527 semi custom 6.5 Grendel, it makes me want one. :tup:

I keep thinking that I "need" a bolt action .223 as well. I'd probably go with the Ruger American ranch because they are so easy to carry. I don't care much for their magazine but I hear they are coming out with a new design.Yes, the Ruger american series is being released now setup to take AR mags.

This is a huge boon to any manufacture that accepts "standardized" mags. Ruger is smarter than most since they seem to have accepted mil spec mags for thier Scout series rifles.I keep thinking that I "need" a bolt action .223 as well.

Mossberg kind of kicked it off a few years ago with teh MVP line, thankfully others are following suit. Savage I believe has some on the way as well.This is a huge boon to any manufacture that accepts "standardized" mags.

It's just one of those things that makes sense. Even if you don't go theb30 mag route, that a guy with a bolt gun wouldnt need, there are so many manufactures that offer 5,10,20 rounders that do make sense. And... for really cheap. Some of the big negatives for "New guns" is the cost and availability of magazines. When you base off the ar 15 ar 10 you have the mil spec supply chain to support the gun purchase.Mossberg kind of kicked it off a few years ago with teh MVP line, thankfully others are following suit.
