Manually operated .223? T3X Varmint, Henry Supreme, CZ 600 Trail?

I had an semi-auto .223 that got banned. I have a few hundred rounds of FMJ ammunition. I bought a Tikka T3X Lite Stainless to shoot it as a target rifle. But the lite barrel heats up too much for repeated shooting. I see the Varmint Stainless is on sale at Bass Pro and was thinking about upgrading. But on second thought, I don't have access to a range greater than 200yds anymore, and I have a CZ 457 and Viper PST for the precision shooting experience at those distances. So now I am considering a manually operated repeater with a shorter barrel for shooting in the woods, shooting Tannerite, maybe deer hunting with the right ammo (I am on Vancouver Island, the Blacktails are tiny, and it is legal here)

TLDR Should I go with the CZ Trail, the Henry Supreme, the T3X Varmint or something else?

I love my cz trail. Also have a Ruger American but Cz wins

I will say the CZ Trail is the frontrunner for now. I like that it's the smallest and lightest but still has a barrel profile that can handle some repeated shooting.

As someone with a Ruger american ranch, I wish I bought the CZ

Cool seeing all the fellow Trail owners on here!  Love mine!
