Default Best 223 varmint rifle

What is the best WALKING 223 varmint rifle in the market, without sacrificing long range accuracy?

Being a lefty I prefer a left hand bolt action. For varmint hunting its not really a factor. Its just what I like. I have a Savage 11FL in .223. I put a 4-16X scope on it. This rifle is extremely accurate and is light enough to carry all day. No bull barrel, just a std. barrel and a synthetic stock. It consistantly punches 5 shot groups into tight little cloverleafs at 100 yds. I haven't shot anything at very long range yet. But I have taken fox at 200 yds without any problems.

I'd go with a CZ, Tikka, or a Remington SPS.

Hey jeepkid,
I figured everyone was going to list their favorite model of Remington and/or Savage, but do you really think that CZ is in the "same class"?

For sure, they are about the same price but with a Mauser style action and a single set trigger. If they came in a synthetic .243 I would have one.
