I have owned a Stevens 200(Savage) and a Howa 1500 both in .223 and they were both fine rifles. The Stevens was cheap and ugly but shot great, held 7 rounds in the magazine and was very accurate. The Howa was also a good shooter and had a nicer safety, hinged floorplate, good fit & finish, etc. They both had easily adjustable factory triggers and it's not hard to get a good pull out of them. I see that you can now get a Howa that comes with 2 stocks (short & regular) for a pretty decent price and that is what I would recomend in your situation. I have nothing good to say about the new Remingtons being made. Bad customer service, severe cheapening of the guns, just skating along on a previous good reputation and name. I like my older Remingtons, but the last couple of guns I have had experience with were un-accurate, poorly working, and cheaply made.........but still had that high Remington price tag.
