Hello all, Im just starting my search for a new rifle in .223. I originally wanted a savage weather warrior 16. Then i saw they were offered with detachable box mags. I have never really been a fan of these on centerfire rifles except the Rem 760/7600. Not to mention I have heard that savage guns with DBMs are often slightly less accurate. After seeing this i began to look at the Ruger hawkeye in SS. After talking to my father who owned one in 3006 ten years ago and all the questionable reviews on triggers and accuracy i was stumped. Then i thought why not a 20 in. heavy barrelled gun. Forgot to mention this will mostly be a target gun and range toy. However i do like being able to double duty my guns. Obviously savage has a ton of options as does remington. I am Aware of the quality of new remingtons but I have bought a 700 ADL 3006 and a CDL 243 in the past 4 years with great luck. I want to keep the price of the rifle alone under 750. I see a lot of older 700 BDL s for sale online but for the price of a new BDL or more. Any wisdom or advice is appreciated.
