I'm kicking around the idea of a bolt rifle in .223 to do some (go ahead and laugh just don't tell me) long range shooting, in my case 200 yards. I'm too old and out of shape to hike farther than that to set targets and have nowhere that I know of offering longer ranges anyway. I don't think I have eyesight any better than that anyway. So, now that the laughter has subsided, I'd like to know who makes the best entry level rifle right now. I've got a nice Leupold VX III 3.5-10x50 in an A.R.M.S. mount I can put on it or I can change the mount. I'll use that scope as it should do a good job and save me a lot of money. So, which out of the box rifle is the best starting point?
