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!

You can also look at rifles chambered in .223 wylde. I recently discovered that it isn't a different cartridge but was specifically designed for both .223 and 5.56.

I got a Ruger Ranch Gen 2 5.56 from Al Flahertys in Toronto a few weeks back. Set up email reminder for when they were back in stock. Got a notification as soon as they received 15 of them.

Ah thanks that’s great info! Good to know about the .223 wylde I’ll look into that!
