.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

Thanks. Maybe a precision AR is more in the line of what I want to go with short term then.

It's a great way to go. I shoot the 77 TMK in my 18" LaRue. 2870 with 23.3 of 8208 XBR at 2.26. 1-1.25 MOA 10 shot groups. I'm using standard dies as well.

It’s going to be a little slower but it shoots well across 3 rifles for me. The issue is getting it, Federal is very strict about dealers selling it to people that aren’t LE so you’ve either gotta be LE, have someone that’s LE buy it for you, or be friends with a dealer who gives no ***** and will order it for you. I fall under the latter category.

I'm not sure if you're speaking in jest but I've bought Federal LE numerous times from online dealers with no issues.

I just keep coming back to pricing out a nice-ish AR and a Tikka and I don't have any reason to go with the AR. Even if I just did a nice upper I'm still not that far off.

Weight.

It's nice having an ultralight AR strapped to the pack instead of a heavier bolt action when I'm mostly scouting but could find a mountain lion or want to shoot some rabbits with the long seasons AZ has.

Makes plenty of sense. I'm only out West every other year though for a single trip. Mostly hunt within 1 mile of car here in NC.

Already sold out! What did they have 5 boxes? Haha

 

[jadkins223]

So I have the ruger predator 223 and several ARs that I’m running the 77s thru. What are your thoughts about adding the ruger ranch to the mix too? It would be $500 shipped. I can’t do the tikka because the non threaded and I want to run my can

Haha, I didn't order any this time. I got my 5 boxes in July and I just got the notification that they were back in stock so I wanted to pass the deal along here. If likes equal orders, several guys got some before it went out of stock!

A Tikka CTR comes threaded or you can get a gunsmith to thread a t3 lite

New site to me, thanks! I put in a large order for 88gr ELD-M's which were on sale yesterday for $19.99. I'm curious to see if it gets fulfilled... I have dreams of a 22 Creedmoor or 22 GT.

I had a good experience ordering from Green Top and I hope you do too. Sounds like a fun project!

I got screwed by sportsman warehouse so I’m back on the prowl for a rifle… checked in after 5 weeks into my background check and they said it was normal and they didn’t want to even look into it for me… checked again at week 9 and was told my background check expired and nobody called me or anything… I will never step foot in there again, no offer to do anything to make it right, and an oh well attitude at best

Now I have to find another one somewhere else, and deal with this state’s stupid background check once again, so I’m just waiting until my go to gun store can find one because they would never treat someone like that

Will have plenty of ammo to shoot when I get my .223 at least (glass half full)

I planned on filling my blacktail tag with the 223 this year but it doesn’t look like it’s in the cards considering a background check is a month in this state

I live in a state with such high potential that’s absolutely crippled by horrible politics

Sportsman's has been struggling since the buyout fell through. They cant get help, corporate pissed every manager off and they have a hiring freeze for most positions. I wouldnt be surprised to see a bankrupcy in the near future.

I did this exact purchase for the same reasons. I am a huge fan of this little rifle. For the little cash I spent on it, it’s incredibly accurate.

Thanks brother. I love the predator so I see no reason why I wouldn’t like the ranch too. Guess I’ll have to get one! My favorite rig to sling the 77s so far is my 20” AR15. I harvested a doe last year at 410 yards with it. It was sweet. I shoot the 73 Eldm out of the predator and 77 TMK out of the ARs

Order from these guys. No tax charged to out of state residents. I have used them several times an they are very good. Find a good local FFL. A small FFL is much more likely to try to help you than a big box. I did the "Email For Price." It's $763

Its also nice being able to have mags that work between two platforms.

 

[thinhorn_AK]

I have a couple SWFA 6x scopes and a few sets of sportsmatch rings sitting here, maybe it’s time I buy a 223.

That was how I did it - first scopes, then UM rings, and finally the Tikka.
