I have had great luck with a Ruger #1V with a Swift 8-32 Scope.

A lot depends on how much money you want to spend. I have a Ruger Number 1 in 22 Hornet that I like very much. There may be one in 223 in my future.

I'm the cheap bugger here, I guess. I've got a N.E.F. in .223 with a Tasco World Class 3-9X and it'll shoot with the high dollar guns all day. Factory Winchester hollow points into an inch @ 100 yards. I'm going to start loading for it this winter. I'd like to try some Ballistic tips. I'm sure I could get it to shoot a bit better yet, even though the coyotes don't care how tight it'll shoot!

I have had great luck with .223 Ruger #1's in both the medium and heavy barrel (varmint) versions. They were scoped with 3x9 Leupold and 4x12 Burris scopes respectively.

My picks would be:

NEF Handi Rifle, Ruger #1, Dakota Mdl 10

Not necessarily in that order, but sometiimes the checkbook has a lot to say about what it'll be.

You might want to see if there are any of the Remington ADL's left around someplace that could be on sale. They have been discontinued and replaced with a newer model. I bought one in a .223 and it has performed very well with groups in the .7 to .9 area.

Thanks guys for all the replies. I was leaning toward adding another Ruger #1. I love the two that I presently shoot. It is about the top end of my finantial resources. I have never seen a Dakota up close and personal. Perhaps a used one will come up someday. Thanks

I have a Cooper .223.

But my next accurate .223 will be an AR15 set up for long range varmint work.
