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’ll list u some affordable options I have heard are good:

Tikka t3x Howa 1500 Weatherby Vanguard Savage 110 Ruger American gen 2 Winchester XPR

If ur rlly on a budget u can get a savage axis or a Ruger American gen 1. They may feel a bit cheap, bolt might be a bit rough, trigger not the lightest but they shoot true. Around 1 moa with decent ammo, they ain’t pretty but they get the job done !
