    They could have been a little more original with the configurations, IMHO.

    700Pss/ SPSTactical .223-safe to shoot 5.56 M855

    Mine never had trouble with 5.56 loads. No sticky bolt lift, round primer edges, and nothing else that indicated excessive pressure.

    How does the Armalite National Match trigger stack up?

    The two stage Armalite trigger in my rifle was less than impressive. While it wasn't gritty, the second stage was very creepy. Compared to the SDE and the hi speed there is no contest in my mind. The extra expense is absolutely worth it.

    Anyone had any experience with Accuracy International 10 round 223 rem magazine

    The only problem that I have with AI 223 magazines is that I can't find more to buy. From the bottom of the magazine to the top of the feed lips is 4 inches.

    New X-Ray Chassis from KRG-now shipping!

    I might have to try one of these. I've been wanting to go with a lighter stock recently and this would fit the bill. Currently I have a folding chassis, and I find that I don't use the feature very much. Often the additional width while folded can be just as inconvenient as the longer length of...

    Stock or Chassis

    My final decision would be based on desired weight. If you are concerned about having a lighter rifle I would go with a traditional stock. However, there is no denying that a chassis is simpler, there is no separate detachable magazine system or bedding required. As far as the magazine goes...

    .223 range report

    Excellent! I would recommend a rifle like this to just about everyone. They allow a lot of inexpensive practice and the lack of recoil/muzzle lets you really focus on the fundamentals. Plus they can have the exact same weight, feel, and ergonomics of larger caliber match rifle. I know my .223...

    Rem 700 AAC-SD blues

    I had excellent luck with the Final Finish kit (fire lapping) on my sps tactical. It made cleaning much easier and improved consistency significantly.

    Lee collet die

    This is what I do, run a case lubed with Imperial through a body die, clean it, and then go to the collet die. It is easy on the brass and makes consistently accurate ammunition.

    223/223AI best powder, (almost) 2013 edition

    +1 All this year I have been stringing along on 1 pounders of Varget I was lucky enough to find, but thankfully 8208 is starting to show up more. In the 130* F seasonal temperature variation of Fairbanks, 8208 has been a more consistent performer. 25.2 grains of 8208 with a 69 smk hammers year...

    Rem 700 AAC .308 - Thoughts on barrel finish

    I have had minor surface rust on mine, but I do live in an extremely dry climate. Regardless, I am careful and keep a coat of Flitz wax on it. I certainly wouldn't trust Remington's finish in a coastal or damp environment.

    Two thumbs up for KRG bolt lift.

    It really helps the bolt lift out on the newer, more poorly finished 700s. I know it was night and day on mine.

    Savage 10 FP-SR or 10 FPC-K shoot both .223 and 5.56?

    I shot lots of 5.56 out of my .223 chambered factory Remington. There were never signs of excessive pressure or ill effects. That's just my expeirence though.
