    Heavy barrel .223


    Looking to add a bolt action rifle in .223 as an in between for varmints. I am partial to stocks such as Boyd's Varmint/Hunter as they fit my long reach and large hands. Bull barrel and detachable mag are about all I think I need . Would like to stay around $600 or less. Savage has me so confused that I know not what to look for. Any suggestions?

    I put a Boyd's Pro Varmint on my Axis HB in .223. Shoots well. If you want a 110 action then maybe a 12FV from Cabela's and then add a Boyd's stock?

    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    I would do a 12fv, find a magazine and BM that fits your needs.
