223 or 22Mag Bolt Action

[florsh]

Need some advice, looking to purchase a 223 or 22Mag Ruger bolt action target rifle. 77/22 or standard Hawkeye 223. Range only, 50-100yds What's the best bang for the buck?

I cannot think of a good reason to own a non .22LR rimfire. I cannot think of a good reason for a 1.5MOA bolt gun in .223.

buy a Savage 22LR bolt gun and a good scope.

.22 mag is expensive and has a limited advantage over 22 LR for HUNTING (Power only, 22LR is more accurate).

.223 is longer range round 200-1000 yards depending on whether factory std. barrel or custom fast twist long barrel build.

I find .22 WMR to be among the most fun rounds out there. CZ makes a nice semi auto if I remember correctly.

Where do you come up with this analogy?

Unless you reload the 22Mag.

OP for the prices you are looking at spending, I think the general consensus is that there are better options out there. For 50-100 yards, a bolt action .22lr would be great, I like the CZ's. A semi auto .22lr would be fine, I like the ruger 10/22. I personally would really like to find a used R700 SPS tactical in .223.

The 77/22Hornet would be good too but you would have to reload to shoot it cheap.

It's not an analogy it's simply a statement. I've heard the hawkeye has had limited accuracy but as I haven't shot it I am not claiming that it is a 1.5MOA gun, simply that a 1.5MOA bolt gun in .223 interests me in no way whatsoever.

Right!

Unless you reload the 22Mag.

I agree with this analogy. Finding rimfire ammo these days is kinda spotty.

do the math for the price difference between 22 mag and 223. Would you reload?

You've never shot one. WOW! So, how do you know that to be true?
You're knowledge of this comes from where exactly?
