Buy recommendations Looking for good .223 options

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

Depends what you actually want it for and how far you are planning on shooting. If you are trying to hit a 12” metal plate at 100 yards, pretty much anything will hit it. If you are reaching out to farther distances and want nice tight groups, get a tikka or something else. For the most part, you get what you pay for.
