Looking at getting a bolty with sights in 223/556, also needs threaded barrel, for my general enjoyment.

I've found a handful, but if I'm missing any let me know.

If you have one and have any experience with any of these post up.

Ruger Scout 223/556
I had one in 308, was a nice firearm. Kind of my 1st choice as of now.

Savage Hog Hunter
Looks good on paper, not as good of sights as the Ruger, longer barrel.

Mossberg Patrol line.
Look a bit heavy due to wood painted stock and heavier barrel. Funky dongle on bolt to grab round off mag. Reports on accuracy here and there. Second choice right now due to overall feature set.

Worthy non sighted but threaded options?

CZ 527
Set triggers are amazing.

Remington 738.
I've got little experience with these, but maybe I could throw a reflex on it.

Could also go with another Ruger Ranch and get Skinners on it. Prefer not having to go the gunsmith route.

Pretty easy to add Lyman sights to most round receiver rifles, and their "Target" sight set for the Savage MK-II T .22 fits quite a few larger rifles well enough! Requires the services of a good Smith, but we all know one on Here who is more then up to the task! ;)
 
Darn that Ruger Scout is pricey. Found it on a couple of sights. $800!
 
Run away screaming from the Mossberg.... Ask me how I know:(:mad:

The model Seven is sweet for sure, but I don't think there is enough "meat" on the muzzle to have it threaded.

I did a Tikka cut to 16.5" and threaded, it is the one in my avatar photo.
