My son has shown some interest in F Class, as yet I am unsure how long this interest will last!
So I am looking at the cheaper end of the .223 market.
What are you recommendations?

Secondhand prices are so close to new for quality kit that I would be spending the money and getting him setup with a competitive rifle. If you can find a 2nd hand Barnard or similar you almost have nothing to lose, you may even gain yourself a 2nd rifle
Oh and if it's something you would want to shoot it's almost certainly going to help keep everyone motivated!

My truck doesn’t run on love, it runs on diesel.
However, I love my rifle and it runs on lead.

On Sunday I witnessed a standard 223 savage FTR rifle blitz the opposition in hard conditions with 308s/200gn struggling, this bloke started the day with 60.5 at 500

It was a borrowed 223 F class savage that got Sophie shooting, hitting a 60 something at 600 when its owner hadn't even taken it back that far! Unfortunately they lose a $1000 as soon as they are taken out of the box. The owner couldn't sell that particular gun for $2500 despite being immaculate and consistently shooting 60 something scores!
