Hi I am trying to find a new .223 rifle. One problem is that I have not done this before. I have a shotgun and a .22 but i want something a little larger than the .22 I am looking at both bolt action and auto loading. I want something that is built well, accurate, cost effective(i am aiming for about $600), and is good at long distance. I really want something with an assault stile handle(vertical behind trigger). I looked at a EABICOL and really liked the feel but they are built to break. The next semi-auto rifle price wise is double the cost and not very comfortable. I would love to get a long barrel, long range, fairly light, scope and bipod sniper style rifle. What would you recommend me getting. I am hoping to buy this very soon so oops i should have posted sooner. Thank you for the responses.
