Built by Carolina Precision Rifles:
.223 model 70 with a 26" 7 twist schnieder barrel and HS precision stock. Took a solid year to build, but it was worth the wait. I can shoot a 3/4" 200yard group with my eyes closed with this rifle!

Re: New build (.223)

Cdi bottom metal. 80 grain AMAX with a select load of reloader 15. I pushed it up to as much as 3200 fps with minimal pressure signs, but I backed it off to 2850 fps to prolong the barrel life. OAL is 2.5". USO glass
