Beardo Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 pretty much the most popular .223 is the Tikka T3. i however rather like the RWS Titan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Logic Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 RWS is certainly an accurate gun, I had one in 243 and wish I hadn't sold it. However, the receiver is aluminium and as such isn't very strong for scope mounts. Also the mounting length is long so rules out many scopes. I have a Remington SPS Tactical and a CZ 527 Synthetic American in 223. The remington is used on targets, the CZ in the field as it's very light. Both shoot very straight, both come heartily recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f.a.c.sam Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I have a howa 1500 with a hogue stock in 223. Fantastic accurate rifle, looks good and they are also probably one of the cheapest of the centerfires but still have an excellent level of quality.

Vince Green Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) I have a howa 1500 with a hogue stock in 223. Fantastic accurate rifle, looks good and they are also probably one of the cheapest of the centerfires but still have an excellent level of quality. Howa probably offers best quality for the price at the present time. Really speaking, if you ask a dozen different people you are going to get a dozen different opinions. There are no bad rifles on the market but my advice would be start with something straightforward like a Howa, Remington or CZ and you will not regret it.
