Does anyone make a 223 auto that doesn' t look military?
 
I was wondering if anyone knows if there' s a fine walnut 223 auto that looks like a regular deer rifle and not a paramilitary or mini14 style. Seems to me it would be a big seller for those of us not into the " black" guns. I used to own a AR-15 so please don' t think I' m bashing those guns at all. I' d just rather have something more admirable in wood.

look into the CZ550.

i am thinking of getting one as a plinker and possible coyote gun.

HK also has one that' s supposed to be fairly accurate for a semi.

How much are you wanting to spend? Sako has their model 75 in .223 but it is an expensive gun. Savage, Tikka, Thompson/Center, Rossi, Remington, and many others make the rifle your looking for. Try buying a shooter' s bible or any good firearm book to help you narrow down your search.

remington 7400....dont know if they go down to 223 or not...and i cant remember if they do wood too...but i know they are semi auto regular rifles...waht about a browning BAR i again dont know if they go down to the 223 but its worth looking into if your interested....both look like regular hunting guns and are semi auto......

gentlemen, the request was for a " auto" and I' m assuming that he meant self loading or semi auto.....I too would like a fine .223 that looks like a sporting gun and yes, something like the old Winchester 100...please reconsider your posts.

my post is fine.....check remington 7400s and browning BARs....im not sure but i heard a few years back browning was stopping making BARs but not sure...take a look at their sites......they are basically a regular rifle but a semi auto.....good luck guys....

i just checked on both......the BAR is still being made and both do come in wood and look great...but 243 or bigger.....i tried.....thats all i can think of guys....i cant think of any other guns that arent military that are semi and in 223.....you can probally have a fine walnut stock made for a military firearm and have it deeply blued and all prettied up for you and have a pretty sweet looking rifle.....
