Anyone have Remington 700 model 85549?

[Bigzams]

From what I have found it is a 700 barrel length is 16.5 chambered in .223 1/9 twist, threaded in 5/8 X 24 . This would be perfect for a build i am putting together to take my wife and daughter with me to the range. Ive looked around but they are sold out everywhere. It is not even listed on Remington`s site. I am looking for what kinda of velocities are people getting out of this setup.

I own one. Swapped out the trigger and had the forearm stiffened when I the action was bedded. This has allowed me to shoot off a bipod. And shoot it does...it really likes both the 53 and 69 SMK's

I can't really speak to velocity will attest to its accuracy

the one i had my eye on sold. Since most of my shooting is inside 500 thought it would a a great little gun to have.

Saw one at my LGS. They had all three (.308/300BLK/.223) line up on the wall.

We have been getting them also in 308, 300 BLK, and 223 also.

I'm interested in picking up this rifle in .223. My question is...is the barrel threaded 5/8x24 or 1/2x28? I plan on running a Silencerco Saker on this rifle, but it is designed to use on barrels threaded 1/2x28. I know that the .308 version is threaded 5/8x24, but it doesn't make any sense for the .223 version not to be threaded 1/2x28. If this rifle is threaded 5/8x24, how are you guys running a 5.56 suppressor on a 5/8x24 threaded barrel? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
