Looking for good .223 options

[u/ExpressSize9383]

Looking at getting a 223 for target shooting at local range, I was looking at some of the savage models like the Axis II or Apex Storm, but I see a lot of mixed opinions on them. Would it be fine for target practice for a beginner? And before you say it, yes I have a 22, I was just looking at someone with slightly more kick and range.

Edit: im seeing alot of tikka T3x replies and all im wondering is: A, is it worth the extra 400 above the axis 2 and B, do i need a $1500 range .223

[u/ExpressSize9383 → u/Deadlydelta45]

well if i get a tikka ill have to get a scope with it and scope and gun will run me probably $1400, thats not too much for just range target shooting here and there?
