My favorite plinker is my .223 Ruger Scout which is irons only

Man, that's nice.

I've been looking at those for a while in 308, still undecided because of the price.

Once thing I noticed though, what's the deal with the flash hider? All the ones I see on the website have a weird faux-A2 flash hider. Did you install that one as a replacement? I like the look of it much better!

I have a CZ-527 in .223 that is light, handy and fun. I have a Savage 340 in .30-30 that shares those traits. For more serious use, I have a MRC1999 in .358 Win, though it has a 21-inch barrel. My other carbines are lever action or semi-auto.

Yes, different flash hider and modified M1 garand handguard to cover the upper barrel to eliminate the scope rail

Not scary black rifle. Cz 527 soooo much fun, and cheap to feed.

I like the CZ 527 too.

My favorite plinking carbine is a Mossberg Patrol in 5.56.

Having a blast with it.

[Calif Hunter]

The CZ-527 also comes in 7.62x39.

Another vote for the CZ-527 shooting the AK round... broke mine out of the safe after about two years of not shooting it a couple of weeks age and had a hell of a good time shooting it. Took it out again last weekend with some hand loads.

I wanted a .223 bolt plinker and found a deal on a Savage Model 11 Hog Hunter. I really like it, but now I wish I'd waited for the MVP!

How is this better for plinking when the ammo you listed is well over $1.20 per round and .223 is $0.35 a round?

[toby]

Serious shooters don't shoot factory ammo.

Well, your point is taken --
But, these are my favorites as the heading asked -
I admit I ignored the request for what was best for him --
