You should order another Rokstock for it.Just snagged a stainless Tikka 223 for $757-$75 rebate = $682 out the door from Euro Optic:

I should have a Carbon Six 223AI pre-fit coming towards the end of the year and don't want to be without a regular ol' trusty 223 Rem.

Got to stop by UM on Friday and see one in person... definitely one in my future.
Let me know your thoughts. I have one on order but have yet to handle one. I figure worse case, I just resell it and not really loose anything due to the backlog and wait times.
Nice work! What knife you working with there?Shot this boar this AM as he was mounted on a sow. 425 yards with 68gr Hammer HHT launched at 3400fps from my .22GT. Had about a 3/4 value wind from the right and used .4 mils for my wind hold. My only rest was a bag thrown over the top wire of a fence so wobble zone was pretty large. Hit him through the guts. DRT. Pass thru shot. Exit wound in pic. I was not happy with the shot placement and was amazed he dropped in place with such poor placement. I suspect a pedal must have tickled the spine. Once I saw where I hit him, I decided not to explore further. Pig guts are nasty. The pic is deceiving. He’s nearly as heavy as me. I’d put him around 150 to 160 pounds. I never cease to marvel at the shield on these mature boars. About 3/4” thick on one this size, and extends from the last rib to the front of the shoulder. Even thicker on bigger pigs. The best terminal ballistics test media there is.

I have to say, I feel a little bad for this guy; shot in the guts right when he was gettin' some action. Doesn't get any worse than that...Shot this boar this AM as he was mounted on a sow. 425 yards with 68gr Hammer HHT launched at 3400fps from my .22GT.

Beautiful knife from a great maker.
took two rachet straps and about twenty minutes to wrestle him into the pickup. 
Ok, how do you know? Did you put a 223 into the vitals of a charging pig to no effect?
Ol big nasty. Nice work.Shot another pig tonight with the 75 gr sabre. 115 yards, he was facing me straight on with his head down feeding. Put it right in the top of the skull. Pig dropped in his tracks, as would be expected from any bullet with that placement. Didn’t do a necropsy as I didn’t have a saw with me to cut the skull open. One of the biggest hogs I’ve ever shot, of course tonight was the night I forgot to bring my scale
Whoa there super chief, he was joking
It’s a running joke. Gman has the “bb gun” that killed a grizzly if I’m not mistaken.
