First .223

[MattSoanes]

Just after the opinions of current .223 users, looking to spend sub 1k on full set up for foxing, this will be my first centre fire rifle.

Is the Browning A bolt in the for sale section a good deal?

 

Thanks.

I've a howa 223 with weaver scope and mod for less than £600

It's shooting 1/2" groups at 100 yards using hornady 55gr

I have a howa 1500 ! Full package new £900 ! Had it over 12 months and to be honest I can't fault it ! I also have T bolt in rimfire and that is made by browning like the A bolt ! The browning will have the edge for sure on build quality ! Have you looked at the x bolt ! I have used one if those and they are brilliant, the tolerances and feel of the bolt and trigger are amazing ! I would try and buy new if u can, then you know the full history of it's use ! However there are some well looked after second hand ! Don't forget to buy a half decent scope !
