I've started reading about the .223 Remington round. It appears to be a popular, widely available round, that's good for general shooting up to a couple hundred yards. Which rifles that utilize the .223 round would you recommend?

I just ordered this one from Tony.

Most AR platform rifles shoot .223/5.56mm ammo. There is a lot of variety in them. You could buy a heavy barrel White Oak or Rock River Arms AR that will let you nail dimes at 100 yards (with good ammo, of course). Or you could get a short AR that gives you combat accuracy (a few inches at 100 yards) in a lighter and more mobile package.

I'm waiting for the Mossberg MVP line to get settled in before I make any decisions on getting my first 223/5.56.

Tikka T3 Tactical .223

This is like asking what 9mm pistol to buy.... options. are. endless.

 

Build an AR15 that will suit exactly your needs. If you buy anything else your limited to it's capabilities, while you can change damn near anything on an ar15

I got a Savage 10FCP-K in .223. Bolt action with 5 rd mag, heavy fluted barrel with brake, accutrigger, and accustock. I've been happy with it so far, but I've only put a 160 rounds through it so far. Can pick it up for under $850 new.

Nice rifle Don. What is the rate of twist?

Thanks, its a 1 in 9"

I like the bull barrels. Why don't you move up to a commie round?
