Ruger or Savage?

It's probably a step above the Ruger/Savage IMO....they are made by Bergara I believe but I'll defer to others that might be more familiar with them.
I understand trying to keep costs down, but at some point you're wasting money.
The rifle I linked earlier is 650 dollars and has a 1-8 twist barely, suitable for the heavier bullets (77 otm) when you get to that point.
PPU 69 grain match is available for less than 14 dollars a box. It's not great, but it is better for your intended use while being easy on the wallet.
The biggest issue with trying to go cheap is that you'll be disappointed, spend more money polishing a turd than it's worth.
There isn't any aftermarket support for the CVA, so you'll be stuck.
There is limited aftermarket support for the Howa.
A bit more for the Tikka, shit tons for the savage and Remington.
There is a limited amount of support for the Ruger.
If i would be looking a new rimfire, i would buy a CZ and 457 Varmint.
Few of my friends have these, and these are extremely accurate rifles.
If you want to build it with a new stock / chassis as soon as you got it, look this one.
But if you want it straight out of the box to shoot, this one is looking very nice.
Also changable barrels, you can put 17HMR or 22WMR on this action, so it could be a trainer and a hunting rifle on one.

Not rimfire, my friend. .223 is what he's looking for. Re-read first post in thread. Cheers
Firearms - Tikka T3X Stainless Lite .223 20" 5/8x24 Threaded
