      Savage is the easiest to rebarrel down the line. Tikka might have the smoothest bolt out of the bunch. Havn't ever shot a Ruger, but do you mean the American or a M77?

              I have two bolt actions in .223. One is a standard barrel Howa and the other is a heavy barrel Remington 700 SPS. I love them both. With zero recoil and minimal ammo cost (even less if you decide to reload) you can shoot that rifle all day long.

                  When picking a heavy barrel bolt, check the twist rates.
                  Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
                  I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

                    I am looking for a bolt 223 as well... My only stipulation is I want a 1:8 twist to stabilize the heavy bullets. I don't even care if it feeds from a magazine.

                      The Tikka T3 sporter. Best stock and you can use it for position shooting.

                        You could rebarrel you Savage 12

                            I have a Ruger American in stainless.
                            I like it alot. I haven't spent a ton of time behind it though.....
                            So far at 100 it does a good job. Looking forward to playing at 200.....
