I was wondering about the > 1k, I was thinking 'shit, buy 2 or 3' but my answer was going to be 'I like the look of a kimber in the profesional varminter' but that would be an expensive rifle i suspect.
Under 1k, well the tikka is always rated well by owners, but that doesn't
say much, I liked the feel and fit and don't own one, my Howa is the shit,
but like I say, owners have a tendency to fall in love with their own shit
and tell people, you could look at jb747's 22-250, that would be a nice
rifle to own, and if you wanted or considered rebarrelling an option in the
future, you would be nuts to pass it up.
I'd say you are looking at a cz527 if you can get it at that price, a howa, tikka or rem SPS, I'd be temped by the tikka,howa,cz in that order. If you haven't tried shooting (or he hasn't) past 200m, then get the .223
