Just my .02 but take a look at the Savage 10 series. Most are available in .223 or .308 (and some in other calibers). I personally have the 10 Precision Carbine in .308 and it's been a great gun so far. Sub-Moa out of the box when I do my part.
Just throwing my .02 (from experience) in here.
I bought an L5 from a local dealer to "take a chance" and see how it was. For the price (and the fact that I could return it) I figured what the hell.
First of all this is not a "professional" review. I am just an old soldier that likes to...
