I went from a Howa 1500 in 243 with the Hogue stock to a Ruger American Ranch in 300BLK. The stock is a bit meh, but the 300 shots well enough for me and is very light (16" barrel). The Howa was a lovely shooter, but I ended up preferring the Ruger so sold the Howa. I expect the Ruger in 223 would be similar to the 300.
