    Primer seating depth?

    Perfect. Thanks for all the replies. Definitely went down the rabbit hole, lol. Loads are shooting very accurately already. I’m just always looking for something else to tinker with.

    Primer seating depth?

    Trying to get more into developing more accurate loads. Trying to wrap my head around the hole primer seating depth thing but, kind of lost here. Normally just seat the primers with a hand tool or on my single stage lnl. Seat until they bottom out and move on. But, now I’m reading all this on...

    Not many heavy barrel 223’s anymore?

    Nice. Really like the vortex strike eagle. Actually put one on my 308 as the scope I had on there was acting up. Was supposed to temporarily but, I like it so much that is staying on there. Looking at staying at under $500 for optics on this one for now.

    Not many heavy barrel 223’s anymore?

    Definitely plan on dropping into a bravo at some point. Once the kids get used to it, I’ll definitely be doing some upgrades. Ordered a nightforce 20 MOA steel base and now I’m on to the so called budget optic search, lol. I’m sure this is going to turn into a not so budget rifle that’s not even...

    Nice. How would you know if it came from the Georgia plant?

    Not many heavy barrel 223’s anymore?

    I’ll definitely report back once I get my hands on it. I did check out the bergara as well. I’ve read good and bad on those as well. Same with the Remington but, some of the newer reviews were actually pretty good so decided to take a chance. Thanks for all the suggestions. Would have loved to...

    Not many heavy barrel 223’s anymore?

    I’m sure this is against everything on the hide but, ended up ordering a new REM 700 tactical in 223. Pretty much fits the bill and I’ve read the newer seems to be a lot better in quality than the previous few years. Heavy barrel, timney trigger, 16.5” barrel should keep it somewhat light for...

    The tikka varmint does look nice. Have a CTR 6.5 and it’s great. The Varmint is just a little more than I wanted to spend. They seem to be in the $1500-$1600 range. This is a rifle for the kids to shoot. Trying to stay somewhat on a budget, lol.

    Thanks. Going to take a look at those. Haven’t seen much about them

    Not many heavy barrel 223’s anymore?

    I wish I had a third one to do that, lol. One is my .308 which is crazy accurate. And the other is my .270 hunting rig. Still using both.

    Not many heavy barrel 223’s anymore?

    For sure. That’s my plan for tomorrow.

    Not many heavy barrel 223’s anymore?

    I have to be missing something, lol. Had my mind set on a tikka t3x CTR in 223 for my kids to shoot. Come to find out, they’re no longer available in the US. I’m too OCD to buy used. Looking for something with a heavy barrel as they like to shoot. This will be for target shooting only. I’m...

    Where to buy Zeiss S3?

    Thanks for the reply. Never heard of the last too. Going to look into them as well. Been along time since my last scope purchase.

    Where to buy Zeiss S3?

    Looking to pick up a Zeiss 6-36 s3. Trying to see what the best place to purchase online, that does a good job with shipping and packaging. Last few items I’ve ordered online have been packaged very poorly. What’s the go to place for optics online? Thanks

    Tikka 6.5 CTR any regrets not going 24”?

    Thanks for the suggestions. Ended up going with the 20” as it was in stock. Definitely probably going suppressed in the near future. Here I go back down the rabbit hole. Probably been 15 years since my last rifle build and haven’t had much free time to shoot these past few years. Seems there are...
