New .223 in AX Chassis - First Impression

[JamieD]

Just finished the new trainer rifle for the shooting school this year. Got it out to the range Last friday and here in central PA it was snowing, below zero with the winds and gusting to 40mph. Still had to take her to the range and try her out. First two groups under .5 with no load work yet but the feel of the rifle is awesome and with the 22" barrel and suppressor it balanced nice too. Weight is 14lbs 10oz with scope, rings, base, suppressor and cover. I have to say I really like the stock so far and looking forward to geting some more range time with it.

Specs:

trued Remington 700 action
high speed aluminum firing pin and spring
Chambered in .223 Match
Bolt Bore Raceway opened to .705
Pacific Tool and Guage Bolt ground to .7025 and fluted
IonBond Bolt Body in black

Cerakote H-Sries in graphite black
Rifle Basix L-1K trigger adjusted to 2 lbs
Pinned Holland Recoil Lug
Sako Extractor

Very well done! All top of the line.
It is hard to imagine that it only weighs a little over 14 pounds. What's the OAL with the suppressor attached?

Wow. That is an epic setup.

Love it. That's my favorite .223 I've ever seen. Love the setup. What kind of suppressor are you running? Didn't see it listed.

Thanks all,
Can't wait to get it back to the range later next week. The overall length with the suppressor is 50.5". The Suppressor is a 6.5 Titanium Jet.

One really cool thing about these .223 rifles is the lack of recoil. It is like shooting a 22lr. I'll post up some range results and speeds as I keep working with it.
