My next purchase will be a .223 rifle. I don't think Ihave a preference between semi, bolt or lever at this point in time. I would like it to be something modern and readily available. In addition, any particular brand/type of ammo for general shooting?

I would say build or buy an AR

Just wondering, why a .223 versus many other rifle calibers?

A Saiga in 223 will eat ANYTHING you feed it and keep rolling along. And it is more accurate than folks give it credit for.

Get an AR and a saiga.

AR... tons of options, shapes, sizes... everything from plinker to precision is available. And it was designed to eat .223 to boot!

Get an AR. I got an S&W M&P-15 and absolutely love it. If you have interest, time and are somewhat handy, build one yourself. I think my next rifle before I build an AR from scratch is going to be a bolt action in .223.

The most bang for the buck is hands down Rock River!

Mini 14. Cool little rifle. And yes you can make them pretty darn accurate.

I'd also recommend a S&W M&P15. Most bang for the buck unless you are building one yourself.

I have both an AR (Windham) and a Mini 14 and love both of them equally. The style of rifle you get will mostly be dictated by what type of shooting you'll be doing. As for ammo, I've only used PMC ammo and have no complaints whatsoever. The PMC bronze .223 55gr fmj shoots pretty clean and is brass cased. Prices are pretty good too.

Bravo Company or Colt AR.

What did you decide on?

I haven't. Still in the research phase.

My vote is for the AR

Well?

I suggest getting an AR, a saiga and a mini-14. Why make tough choices

Mini 14 looks awesome, that's just me saying that because I already built and finished my ar

The AR is indeed the way to go, the best part is you can start with a relatively cheap and simple M4 for plinking yet build up additional uppers to support different uses. ARs are like cats and Dachshunds, you can't have just one!

I have a saiga 223 does anyone know if it can shoot 556?

absolutely. mine loves it
