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!

If you're going for a more traditional bolt action, I'd say go with a Bergara B14 of whatever style you like (AICS compatability so no round limit). If you want a "tactical" go with the 600 Trail (you can use 10 round LAR pistol mags).

Thanks! I’m not particularly looking for a tactical style rifle, but I do like the compactness of the CZ with the collapsing stock. I’ve heard it’s not the best though as it’s a bit wobbly

I've never been bothered by the 600 Trail stock. When its in your shoulder it's solid.
