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

[u/ThatBigFuckoffTree]

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?

What stock did you replace it with and did you use the G10 adapter?

Ya I did the G10 adapter. I had a cheap mil spec AR composite buffer tube and stock laying around from another project. I threw that on expecting it to be temporary, but it’s now become permanent. One day I’ll swap out to an aluminum buffer tube though.

What stock are you running? I switched mine back to factory as I couldn't find a comfortable buffer stock. The ergonomics seem off.

Sorry I forgot you can’t post links on this sub. It’s just a generic one I bought off MagDump. I got it sale several years ago and it was just sitting around unused so I went with it an I liked it
