Buy recommendations First advice

Any recommendations for a first gun
I love the look of tikka ace game .223 look but the 24 inch barrel seems way too much for range shooting max out at 200 yard. And I just can’t find anyone sells the 20inch version. Any other good option without spending more than $2k that’s within the tacticool feeling

Thanks.

Big/heavy/long, this is typical of guns designed for bench rest shooting, regardless of your 200m distance. You will not regret buying a T3X Ace for this purpose, assuming you're okay with the price.

. Could you achieve similar/slightly worse accuracy with a CHEAPER smaller/lighter/shorter gun? Yes, more than likely. Don't forget you'll need a good scope too. Also budget for a buffet of ammo to find the best one for your rifle.
