    Remington 5R .223

    Thanks for the link to your stuff, lots of good info in there. I might have to go see about picking up a new Remington today.

    Remington 5R .223

    If I build one I will have to spread it out over the year or so. That's one reason I haven't done anything yet cause of the cost of a full blown custom. I really want the faster twist but it will take longer to get the parts than me buying the 5R 9 twist off the shelf. I've got a rock solid...

    Your Savage .223ai is an awesome rifle. How far have you been able to shoot to with it? I noticed in your post you had taken it to 300yds.

    Are the Amax's that much better than the SMK?

    Remington 5R .223

    I'm not writing of the 6.5 pills at all, it's something I want to get into down the road. Right now I'm pretty set on the .223 for this go around. I want to shoot the heavy stuff so I may go ahead and order a barrel then decide on the action. Would a 24" barrel be enough or should I step up to a...

    Remington 5R .223

    I don't think Beretta is importing the .223 with the 8 twist anymore. I could be wrong. I think all you can get it in now is a 10 twist.

    Remington 5R .223

    Well I'm more north central like 120 miles north of Ft. Worth, probably misleading with the central texas location. The range here in town is 500 yards. As far as my setup goes I don't have an action or anything that I want to use for this gun. I would probably go with a Remington action if...

    Remington 5R .223

    Well one other reason for sticking with the .223 is cause I just took the plunge and bought a specwar 5.56 and I would like to use it on a precison .223 as well as my AR. My local range is 500 yards but there is another range that is 30 minutes away that goes out to a grand. I would like to try...

    Remington 5R .223

    Well it's looking like my best bet is to piece one together. On the barrel since an 8 twist is good would a 7 be even better or not a lot of difference?

    Remington 5R .223

    Is there any factory .223's that have an 1-8 twist?

    Remington 5R .223

    The sps tac. has the same twist as the 5R right. I was just liking the longer barrel on the 5R. I want to be able to shoot the heavy stuff, I just worry abou the 1-9 twist.

    Remington 5R .223

    Would the 5R mil-spec .223 be a good starting point for long range .223 shooting. Or would I be better off just getting parts to put one together? I already have a .308 and I'm just looking for something a little different than all the 6.5 stuff that everybody is going to.

    remington's new 700 long range!!

    That wouldn't surprise me at all. It would be like Tikka changing there .223 to a 10 twist.

    remington's new 700 long range!!

    Well maybe it will spill over into the other models.

    remington's new 700 long range!!

    I know I could rebarrel an action, but this seems like good way to get into the 6.5 bullets.

    remington's new 700 long range!!

    What happened to them talking about bringing back the .260 at shot show? Was that just a rumor or has anybody heard anything else about it?

    Mega MATEN cycling issues

    I would try some different buffers and or springs also. It may not be allowing the bcg to come all the way back.

    308 PMags in Stock!

    Thanks for the heads up.

    SPS Tactical Makeover 2.0

    I sure would like to have all that done to my .308 sps tac. Awesome work you do there Keith.

    McRee vs Rock Solid

    I've got a bone stock Remington 700 sps tac. and I'm having a little trouble getting it to fit into my new rock solid stock. The tigger is cant off to the side and its touching the stock so it won't fuction properly. I was wondering if anybody else had trouble or am I doing something wrong?
