.223 Remington

SuburbanNoize
With ammo prices increasing I have decided that I am going to trade off a couple of my rifles for a "real nice" .223. Guessing what I will get for a trade-off, I am guessing I will have around $900 to spend on the .223. So, if you guys had up $900 to get a good bolt action .223(with a heavy bbl.), what would you choose and why?

--I already have a Bushmaster and that is why I am looking for a bolt action.

    i picked up 400 rounds for 160 bucks, i thought that was pretty decent. I will never shop at Knights Shooting Sports again, they had this ammo marked at 14 bucks for a box of 20. I paid 7.50 a box plus tax.

    No one had any 500 round cases, or i would have gotten that.

    Sounds about right. I bet Farm & Fleet ain't much cheaper than that right now. Wal-Mart is probably closer to $10.

    Right now a 20RD box of UMC is a little over $7.00. And it used to be $4.99.
