What on earth are you talking about? It's a 1-8 twist 223. I'll be shooting 77TMK's. It shoots seriously, extremely good. I don't get your shitty attitude about it. I have read the entire post. Hence why I snapped up this 223 for the price I did. There are literally tons of people on here shooting non Tikka 223's without issue. So, whats the issue with this one? It's not a Leupold, and its shooting 1/3 moa with factory ammo.
Yeah, I'm at a bit of a loss there myself. Cost less than a Tikka. Shoots just as well. 223, with a 1-8 twist. Going to shoot 77TMK's. Are we entirely anti Remington here? I thought we were about hunting and making clean kills with 77TMK's not gear shaming people. Let's act like freaking adults here.
Yeah, I work on a drillship in the gulf of mexico so I don't get on here as often as I'd like. I have read the entire post, word for word. He really pissed me off with his shitty attitude considering that there's plenty of folks here with rifles I'd consider not as capable. Remington triggers, and this one is a Timney, so long as you keep them clean and free of debris are plenty safe. I've used them for years and years in my other rifles, banged them around and never had an issue. I'd happily shoot alongside him in field positions or off a bench to see how it stacks up alongisde a tikka, or any other factory rifle. That being said I also don’t set them so low they can go off just by thinking about touching the trigger. I like about a 2.5 pound trigger pull.
Like I said relax
Yeah, not sure what was going on with him but it got my goat for sure. Unwarranted disrespect tends to do that to me. Especially when he clearly didn't even read what he was responding to. Maybe he was drunk? Who knows?
I just put a new 8 twist 700 223 together also. The rifle shoots great and I'm sure yours will too. My own personal experience trumps someone's opinion on the internet.
Oh yeah. Very nice setup! Mines a tremendous shooter. I love it. Gonna drop it off at Kampfeld Kustoms to get an extended bolt handle put on, bolt fluted, and a side bolt release installed as well. Pork sword chassis should be to the house by the time I finish this hitch. It’ll be a fun little rifle.
Want to apologize for coming across as an asshole. Was not my intent and I’m sorry.
I got way too excited with this...
Are there brown bears on this thread that I can't find?
Yup. Just the 100 packs. Beats nothing though!
What's your MV on this load? Barrel length?
No brown bears yet. I'm toying with the idea of trying. I really liked the idea of a light Howa but with the problems Form has with feeding and reports of trigger problems I'll wait.
