Define LR shooting? .223 isn't actually too great of a performer past about 5-600M unless you use heavier bullets and hand load.

Tikka......search Finnish firearm history and development....

If its strictly a range rifle or a occaisional ground hog then the Tikka gets my vote also but if you are just going to be punching paper then the Tikka or CZ heavy barreled varmiter will both do the trick.

Of the two up there, I'd vote Tikka...

I'd look for something with a heavier profile barrel tho.

rogerxd45 · 08-26-2007, 09:39 AM

DMWyatt · 08-26-2007, 10:42 AM

+1 on the Tikka, Although I'd get one in .308 unless you have an AR or something and are looking for ammo interchangeablity
