The perfect .223 Rokslide Special Setup

Whats the benefit of going to the other og vs the og65.
Will there be enough difference?
Didn’t catch they were doing one for 223.

I don’t really know how much the spec will differ, but I know they’re making a 223 one this year. I’m currently using my OG65 for both my .223 and 6mm. I just figured if I’m gonna end up with another can I’d just grab the dedicated .223 OG for my .223 and this one can live on the 6mm.

My very uneducated guess is that'll more closely resemble the form factor of their newest OG6-S, making it 6 inches overall including the 3" reflex. So less can forward of the muzzle and lighter. Again, just a WAG.

I know the main discussion is 223 Tikkas, but I found a newer Rem 700 in 223 with a 8 twist.
Timney Trigger
Older Rem stock
SWFA 6x.
Modified the mag box for 75 gr ELD-M's.

I still need to have the barrel cut down and threaded, which I will get done in the next few weeks.
Son has the Tikka, and this Rem shoots just as good. This really likes the 77 gr TMKs with 8208.

I gotcha,looking at these but if there’s not much difference I would rather have one more universal like the og6.5.
Not sure why someone would comment to a one size fits one caliber vs a more universal one other than just spending more money.
I definitely get it if there is enough accuracy or db difference to justify it.
I have an ultra 7 30 cal and from my research there’s no upside to getting the 6.5 version.
Just because it’s a db or two you can’t tell by ear.

I wasn’t in argument with what you wrote- I am genuinely curious. The heavy use with sub 18” barrels in hunting weight rifles for me is mostly in the last year, and the results weren’t what I expected on the surface- though if I think about it, it makes sense. It’s even made me want slightly heavier barrels (than a T3 lite) in 16”.

I didn't take offense or interpret it differently. Why do you think that is?

I like a little heavier than lite contour too. Lite hybrid/taperless 750/benchmark #4 are my favorites for hunting rifle.
