Buy recommendations Bolt action recommendations

I’m looking to get a bolt action rifle chambered in 5.56/.223 preferably. Was looking at the gen II Ruger American ranch, but haven’t had much luck finding one in stock.

Also looked into CZ600 trail, but from what I’ve researched, those mags have to be pinned at 5. Not sure if that is accurate though. I’d like to be able to use a 10 round if possible.

Was hoping for some advice from the community if I should be looking for something else or hold out and try to find one of the above.

Thanks in advance!

I bought at Tikka T3X CTR. Aside from the expensive magazine that I needed to buy one for spare, I have no complaints. I know its more expensive by more or less $500 that a Gen 2 ruger but you can’t go wrong with it in terms of quality, accuracy, and reliability. And that goes for all Tikka T3X.

Thanks! I don’t mind spending a bit more to get a quality rifle so I’ll look into it!
