    Recommendations for 223 bolt rifle

    I did exactly the same build. It started with a Savage 12FV .223 from Cabela's last summer. It is just a lovely rifle and shoots 1/2 MOA and 6" groups or less at 600 yards.

    Budget Builds - Savage 12FV vs. Remington 700 SPS Varmint

    Yes, agreed, the RPR is a good deal and also with a threaded barrel. All that being said the B&C A2 stock is really nice and I prefer it (and the XLR) to the RPR chassis. The RPR buttstock especially is light duty. I would take my Savage build .223 over an RPR all day long. These are my build...

    Budget Builds - Savage 12FV vs. Remington 700 SPS Varmint

    In the last year, I have built two rifles from factory configurations. One in .243 from a Remington 700 SPS Varmint and the other from a .223 Savage 12FV. The Savage is the better base rifle for the money and I will tell you why. In both cases, I junked the factory stocks. They actually went in...

    why not more 22-250 trainers

    I love my .223 built off a Savage 12FV in a Bell and Carlson stock with a CDI bottom metal kit. It is a trainer for my .243. If the match is 600 yards and in, I just run the .223. It is a joy to shoot. I load 25 grains of Varget in Lapua brass with leftover 75 grain AMAX bullets. I beat a...

    Funnels and You

    My XTreme funnel did arrive and it works wonderfully for .243. It fits the case perfect and seals very well. It is smaller than a Satern but I have no trouble dumping powder to it. It also never bridges with stick/extruded powder. My .223 Satern bridges about 10% of the time and I always...

    Funnels and You

    The green plastic RCBS funnel is a total failure for .243. It wobbles like crazy. Garbage. I use Saterns for .223 and .308 and they work well.

    Funnels and You

    So, I have a new .243 rifle project to reload for and my .308 Satern funnel doesn't fit a .243 case that well. Also, I can't get a 6mm/.243 Satern on Amazon with free shipping. Very disturbing.... I started to look elsewhere for the ultimate funnel. I found the Xtreme Hardcore line of...

    Anybody Have a Rem 700 5r with a Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist Style 5 Stock

    I'm thinking about this chassis, but wanted to get some firsthand feedback from someone with this set-up. Wanted to confirm that the .308 Remington 700 5r Milspec is a drop-in fit. My 5r is right-handed, but I shoot lefty. Will this chassis function just as using a left hand trigger...

    Just Finished the Reloading Bench Build

    Nice job Padom. That is truly furniture grade and gorgeous.

    Just Finished the Reloading Bench Build

    I'm pleased with it. I'm convinced you have to build what you want. This isn't something you can buy or I probably would have. What do you guys and gals think?

    Photos Slow Motion Impact and Flight of Fire Extinguisher

    I realize this is not a photo, but didn't see a video forum. I got very lucky when the extinguisher tank stayed in the GoPro frame during most of its flight. See YouTube link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds0M67UU67w

    Match Ammo Makes a Huge Difference for Newbie's Rem 700 5r Milspec

    I've been playing with a Remington 5r Milspec 24" for a couple of months now. My accuracy has been about 2 MOA with cheap .308 ammo until this weekend. After reading numerous posts stating that the 5r requires 168-175 gr match ammo to attain sub MOA groups I finally purchased some decent .308...

    Maybe there should be a separate thread "custom sandbags, show 'em". The custom sandbag does function quite well.

    SWFA sent me an e-mail recently to inform me of my "back-ordered" TPS 30mm low rings and a TPS 20 MOA rail AFTER I placed my order on-line. Yes, the website ordering system should automatically inform if an item is not in stock during the on-line ordering process. As noted above, they don't...

    Rifle Scopes Thanks for the Help in Choosing a Scope, Rings, and Base with Photo

    Thanks for all the help in selecting components for my Remington 5r Milspec 24" .308. I went with a fixed 12X SWFA SS and TPS rings and base. I had a budget of about $500 for these optics items plus the Harris notched bipod. I think it came in at about $530 including shipping. The rifle was...
