    Oh shit I did it, bought a Tikka T3X Super Varmint 223 Bolt

    As stated I bought a Tikka super varmint and it checks all the boxes I have wanted to upgrade my beloved Rem 700 5R.

    I wanted:
    223 Bolt gun
    Threaded barrel with 1/8 twist (longer than 20 inches which is very hard too find) 23.7 inches (damn Finnish LOL)
    Smooth bolt
    Decent trigger
    Decent stock
    Nice carakote finish
    Built in rail to action

    Range report to follow in a couple weeks after delivery and scoped up and .....

    Great purchase! If you want different magazines, KRG Bravo would be a good choice and you can choose the AICS pattern magazines. Accurate Mag makes a great magazine. If staying with current set up, Mountain Tactical makes a single load follower.
    Since you reload, 8208 and 77 TMK is the answer

    Good to know Mark, I have not looked into aftermarket stocks.

    Good choices, let us know which you go with in your range report.

    It's been a long time since I was excited about a new bolt gun like this, should be great. Tikka / Sako makes accurate barrels. Going to take a couple weeks to get it dialed in but yes Range report will follow. Thanks fellas.

    That should be a shooter. Look forward to range report.
    My Tikkas and Sako were pleasingly accurate.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
