How you like that 22 cm? Been itching for one lately
It’s probably my favorite rifle. I use the 80.5 Berger’s and it’s deadly on everything up to and including hogs. My daughter shot a deer right in the 10 ring at a little over 450 yards with it and it went about ten feet. At that distance it still destroyed the lungs

Howa 1500 Mini in 223 with the 1:8 20” Sporter barrel
Jefferson Outdoors bottom metal
Pendleton Custom Stocks Carbon fiber stock
Leupold VX-3 HD 2.5-10x40 CDS-ZL
Leupold QDRings and bases (were in a drawer)
A hair over 6 lbs as it sits

I’m still doing load development but seems to be right around 1” @ 100yds with plinking ammo.

A nice light walking rifle.
 
I will play..Zermatt Ti3s, proof and Bartlein carbon barrels, 2 in XLR Magnesium 4.0 chassis, 1 Manners LRH. Leupold 2-10s, both running Voodoo S thermal clipon. Both in 22 GT. Thunderbeast Dominus can.

How's the Voodoo S pair with the 2-10? I'm hoping Leupold updates their reticle in the 2-10 next year



I'm running a 6 arc with a PVS30 in front of a 3.6-18 and really like it

How do you like the 20 al performance?
I love it. This is actually my 3rd 20 br barrel. But I do understand it's probably not for everyone. The 55 gr berger are a special bullet when pushed that fast. Plenty of structure to get good penatration on coyotes and they have put thier share off hogs down for me. It's sad the future of that bullet is unknown.

Had my smith cut and chamber a barrel I had sitting around. Xcaliber 6mm creed became a 6 GT. 65 vmaxes are averaging 3450fps and groups at 225yds are acceptable given they are off a tripod

Here’s my coyote killer, taken many at night with it. Ruger 10/22, stock, mag release, Ruger hammer forged barrel, hand smithed trigger with overtop and sear adjustment screws done by myself. Guns a tack driver that I’d never sell.

How far forward it is, your neck must be 2 feet long.
“Remington Model Seven Predator Bolt Action Rifle .223 Remington 22" Barrel 5 Rounds Synthetic Stock Mossy Oak Brush Camo Finish A dream to handle, the compact Model Seven Predator is officially every predator and varmint s worst nightmare. The new Model Seven Predator weighs in at 7 lbs. and is decked from butt to bore in Mossy Oak Brush camo to surpass your needs for mobility and concealment. Much like our legendary Model 700 action, the Model Seven platform will amaze you with its accuracy right out of the box. The predator s fluted, magnum-contour 22" barrel promotes awesome long-shot repeatability and cools quickly when the action heats up. Our X-Mark Pro trigger system delivers a level of shot control and crispness unrivaled by any other factory system. And the rugged synthetic stock features an R3 recoil pad to dramatically enhance shooting comfort. Specifications and features: Remington model Seven Predator bolt-action rifle .223 Remington 22" magnum contour, fluted barrel 12" twist 5 Round hinged floorplate magazine 2-position safety X-Mark Pro trigger Synthetic stock Mossy Oak Brush camo finish R3 recoil pad 39" overall length 13-3/8" length of pull 1-1/4" drop at comb 1-1/2" drop at heel 7 lbs.”

Model 7 action is shorter than 700SA and LOP is 13-3/8”.
There is nothing wrong with scope mounting or my neck!

No one is questioning the model 7 specifications, it’s an awesome little action. People have just never seen a scope mounted in such a weird position. I have no idea how you can see through it!
