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 got a Gen 2 imported, haven’t fired it yet, cuz it’s on its way back to the usa for warranty, Bent stock, loose trigger assembly. I was over excited about it and had high expectations. Boy howdy did I ever shoot myself in the foot for those hopes and dreams. That being said, I’ll sell you mine whenever I see it again ….probably 2 months from now. Haha….sigh

Ah damn sorry to hear about that! I know it’s kind of a more budget option compared to the CZ and Tikka but that’s still unacceptable. If I go for one I’ll definitely want to have it in hand before purchasing
