    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    I believe the three fragments depicted are representative in this case. The pieces depicted were all resting together under the offside hide. The pieces will actually “fit” back together loosely and traveled “together” to their final resting place. Now if I collected pieces that dispursed...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Im guessing 2.5 based on tooth wear but generally tooth wear is very inconsistent. I removed two teeth this evening. One to send fish and wildlife who will age it and I will cut the other to determine age myself.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Jefferson outdoors hinged bottom metal. As advertised 5+1 capacity. I am able to just fit 6 after I shimmed and bedded the bottom metal in my Stockys stock. It feeds 100% for me, but you must make sure your fitment is set and the bolt face engages enough of the case head as part of the bedding...

    Howa Superlite

    Reviving this old thread for updates from this season. Still seems like an awesome lightweight option. Anyone have problems with the bottom plastic or magazine? I had issues on my minis with the plastic cracking in sub zero temps and solved that with the JO bottom metal. I am wondering if any...

    Any reason not to cut .223 back to 16.5”?

    I should have added context that I took my plugs out for one shot to compare. As I was concerned as others mentioned it would become very loud and blasty. When hunting, there are some scenarios I dont remember/have time to put plugs in. I do have a few cans, and I think they are great for...

    Any reason not to cut .223 back to 16.5”?

    Well I received my rifle back cut to 16”, and I am very satisfied after an afternoon visit to the range. I only shot out to 100yds due to limited time, but the rifle remains a 3/4” rifle in my hands, likely better for someone else. After cutting the barrel back, my rifle weighs in at 5lb 3oz...

    Any reason not to cut .223 back to 16.5”?

    Thanks for the input. Why not! I’ll send it out today and will go ahead and have it threaded for my can. It will be interesting to see how much velocity I actually loose. The weight savings and balance alone will make it worth it.

    Any reason not to cut .223 back to 16.5”?

    I like the 16.5” idea, the odds of me using this beyond 400 for hunting are slim. It looks like there is some evidence of the TMK performing <1800 fps in some instances. At 400yds I would find that out based on my calcs.

    Any reason not to cut .223 back to 16.5”?

    I have a Howa mini action .223REM in a Stockys carbon stock. It shoots 62 TTSX chrono’d at 2920fps with its 22” sporter barrel. With the lightweight stock it actually feels a little front heavy and I am looking for a reason not to cut back to 16.5”. I am TMK “curious” and wondering if the...

    WTS/WTT CZ 527 .223 Varmint Laminate

    It is 1:12, I ran a tight patch through and it measures 1:11.75. It does shoot 55VMAX well, but it loves the 35 and 40s.

    WTS/WTT CZ 527 .223 Varmint Laminate

    I am unsure, the barrel is not marked. I would guess it is 1-12 because it’s not marked?

    WTS/WTT CZ 527 .223 Varmint Laminate

    CZ 527 Varmint Laminate in 223 Rem. Barrel was cut down to 18” by the previous owner and looks like it could use a re-crown. There are some lite handling/safe marks, but is overall in excellent condition. It shoots 40 grn vmax sub moa, it has sat in my safe for awhile so time to move it along...
