    223 Bolt Gun (current climate)

    Have you ,considered the 6.5 Grendel, I'm not sure if ammo costs are a lot higher in the States as I live in New Zealand , a Howa barreled action in 6.5 Grendal gives good barrel life , a performance lift from 223 , and plenty of stock options are avaible . Regards .

    I have several friends successfully using the Begara HMRs in 6.5 Creedmoor and 300WM , the Tikka is a great platform undisputedly , the Begara is however based on the Remington 700 style platform so lots of choices for after market gear ,both rifles suffer from the magazine length...
