If you can find a good used, not used good, ruger V/T they are great guns. I Have one in 22-250 and it was a shooter right out of the box. The trigger took a little getting used to, butit is a very accurate gun for a factory made rifle.I found a used one in 223 at a local gun show and they were asking 550$ - 575$ with scope and bipod. Hope this helps.
