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!

My Tikka Varmint shoots pretty darn good, but I just don't love the platform and I wouldn't necessarily 'recommend' it
Best advise is not to take advice from randos on the Internet. So, soooo many commenters only have experience with one or two guns, and recommend those. That's essentially a useless recommendation. Go to a gun counter and handle a few guns, and make up your own mind. It's not a popularity contest, find something that you personally like, not just whatever the herd of drones mutter about in an online echo chamber.
