Here you go...fill 'er up.

Well then....A pic of my 223AI then....Sako Vixen, 3.5-10X40 with turrets.

Here's another one:


700, Jewel trigger, PN 3-groove @ 22", 1-8 Twist, varmint contour, A5 w/ Williams ADL trigger guard, extended mag box, VX-II 6-18x w/ turret treatment.

I've mainly been shooting fireform loads (27.5gr H335 w/ 50gr V-Max's). I've got a decent supply of brass now, so I'll start sticking them together with some 75's.

My LVSF...

here is a post on the mag box mod

and here are some pics

"Candy"---a 700 sucks, PN 1@22" 1-8 twist, adl, Mickey classic, Leupy 3.5x10-40, Talley Allies

"Chinky chunk"--700 sucks, A5, Leupy 3.5x10-40 M1, Talley Allies, more details later

You boys are gonna talk me into building one of them there 223Arkies.................

M700 short action with a PN #1 contour, 8 twist, 3 groove, super match 22 1/2" barrel. McMillan standard fill compact stock with 40% purple / 40% light gray / 20% turquoise.

Floorboard crown, factory trigger tuned to a dead crisp 2 pounds, and old timey safety tab that locks the bolt down with the safety on. It has a Leupold Mark 2 3-9X40 Hunter with L.R. reticle sitting in Conetrol medium Custum rings. It balances between the lug and the front guard screw. It's a keeper!

Nice

You have no idea.....best check on the 'fire to find out what they can/can't do..... I read that Gene Ingram makes a good knife too....




That deer be leakin' around that HS mag.....just sayin...

Just pulled Bill's 223AI out of the boat and stashed it. Shoulda grabbed a pic while I had it out...

Lazy bastard.......grin.

I'll research that nudge..............

We'll be running 4 of them out to 1000yards again tomorrow.

We're taking a guy shooting with us who has never stretched out anything but want to give it a go. He's gunning a 308, which is his only rifle and all he knows. After he's had his fill with the 308 superseal and I are going to turn him loose with the 223AI's, 243AI's, and 6.5-284. It'll be interesting to see what his thoughts are when we're done for the day and empty brass is piled up....but I think I already know what he's gonna say.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for some wind.

She's startin to be my favoritist one so far!!!!!

WTF is that second gun Seal? Holdin out fucker............ g

.223ai, Duh, grin. Whatcha talkin about?

Shot this 5 shot group at 1000yds yesterday. Prior to that, I was ringing steel at 500yds. My barrel was skillet when I shot this group at 1k. 31.75moa and was holding 1 mil windage.

Not an impressive group by no means, but it's fun running a pencil thin barrel out to 1k.

"You always want a Bull barrel."

I took my 223AI shooting tonight, and it continues to impress.

Went sub .5 tonight, with 75amax's. Rifle was a dream to load for, because it was stupid accurate with every load/bullet I tried.

Gonna hunt with for the rest of alpine season. Easily my favorite rifle, and I'm duping it in 25-06AI based on a Ti action.

Calvin,

you live in the bother's old house?

No. About 2.5 miles further down the road.

Might cart the 223AI Montucky up to Buck Heaven,here in a few..................

When do the bucks usually shed velvet? I'm ready to roll with the 75amax. Can't make any worse of a mess than the 162. I've got next week to hunt.

The end of the 1st week of August,has them tattered,with some out. The end of the second,puts a guy in the Huckleberries and that's my favorite.

I'll have two weeks to connect and am liking the odds..............

You going with the amax or tsx?

In the 223AI Montucky,it'd be an A-Max for Alpine...........

excuse my shit camera and picture skills.

Nice. #3 or #4 contour?

Barrel contour is a #2

How's it do? Favorite boolit?..................

Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, screwed the scope on yesterday but the magbox is opened to 2.6 and its throated for the 75 amax. i been payin attention.

Curious to hear how it all works out.

Need to get off my cunt,holster the fishing rods and mod the magbox on my Montucky 223AI and stretch her legs on some Venison..............

Nicely done on Part 1.

Looking forward to your results with Part 2....

I can dig that color scheme........Don't forget to report back on the second half of the fun.

223AI Rem 700, Krieger 1:8 #7, Manners T-2.

Thoughts on the Kreiger? Do it shoot?..............

The Kreiger cleans very easily in just a few patches (no moly). The rifle shoots 75gn Berger VLD's better than A-max's but neither are as good as I was hoping. @ 300yds it'll run 3 or 4 into less than 2" and throw 1 or 2 making a 5 shot group open to 4"-5". Maddening when most go where there supposed to and the flyers are so far off the mark. I'm running nickle WW brass that I sorted by weight. I've got a bunch of Rem brass brass and I'll run some of that in the spring.

Off to load up the mutts and find a ruff or 2.

I'm fairly anti-nickle,especially in bughole pursuits. I've some nice lots of W/W 223 hulls,but prefer R/P by about a jazillion.

Weather is nice enough,I should oughtta hang the feesh rods up and roll some shooting video. Need to fuck with the Montucky and should bang around my Beeg PN A2 and the 1-14" Hart Big And Pink/Full Of Stink.

Then do shit that can't be did,with Sporty Spice...................

Just sent off my chunk to the cave for a barrel install. I'll post pics upon its return

Oh...I reckon it'll dazzle,like they all do.............

Fo shizzle - not really doubting that

Pics are mandatory,but you knowed that...........

Well, until the action arrives, here is the stock. Might trip it for a non-adjustable version

The upside to fixed,is that there is no downside.

I can dig them "odds"................

I've rid myself of adjustable cheeked A5s.

Better in thought than in execution.

trigger needs a tweak, but throws 62 tsx and 75 amax to the same spot at 100... I figured the barrel might be a bit much for the handle, but it balances just fine.

What twist is the Mike tube?

8"?................

8"

Nice..............

I'm liking it so far. Will run it for the fall to see if the love holds, and then dupe/modify in .280 AI. Just scored a matte 6X to see what the fuss is all about.

I'm willing to bet you won't want to let go of either one...

that wouldn't hurt my feelings.

Nice rifles!

sweet!

Barreled action showed up today from the cave. Immediately after I checked my email to see notification that the McMillan stock I had on order is ready. Should be a fun Thanksgiving!

New stock arrived, along with my action from the bat cave. Quickly coated the action in Alumahyde. I hate that crap, and will soon recoat in Moly Resin.

well, I came home from a gunshow today with a B prefix 700 BDL Sporter in 223 with the barrel cropped to 22".......thinking of going down the 223AI road with it....again....been there, done that..but I ALWAYS had feeding problems with 700's in 223AI, had three of them........but, it's only a factory tube and I do my own chambers so there aint much to lose...will keep you posted...but,,...then again, I looked in my parts pile and I have a nearly new take off 223 barrel from a VLS,...and a PSS stock...maybe I should go that route...but, I already have a heavy stainless 223 in a VLS stock...decisons,...decisions....

Start At The Fucking Start.

Hint....................

Assuming the newbie can't spot a hint or read "Stick" yet......

The Start

Now coated with Moly Resin. Mucho bettero

That set it off rather nicely................

How much up do u typically have left with talleys and say a 3.5-10 w/ M1's? Got the chunk in the works just aint sure how to mount the scope?

Glenn Seekins is your friend

I was considering AI'ing a 700 in 223 that I just picked up,...then I found this in the safe...what to do?....:-)

You want that list alphabetized, or what?

That has got to be one of the best looking rigs I have seen!

Thanks Pacecars. Ti's a killer little rig fo sure.

Gotta classic Swirly inbound for it, should be here later this month. I love the Rem Classic ergos, will salt away the Ti for another project....

Just another standard chunk

Ya I know my pics suck...

drill bit barrels do look cool...

Who did the barrel for you and nice rifle too !!!

I sent the barrel to Karl. Need to send the bolt but too busy shootin it.

Specs on it contour maker etc!!

Sorry....it's just a trued up remmy with a Pac Nor super match 8 twist. Barrel cut at 21 3/4". Course it's a A5 standard fill. Runnin factory trigger for now along w talleys for now. Will add some Seekins rings and what not as funds allow. Scope is a 3.5-10 tactical.

Blew my mind how well it balances!!! Sweeet blueprint. Thank to all the guys here who told me how to build it.

Formin brass now. Have no idea about group sizes but you load 26.5gr of 335 and a vmax and u can't miss at 3oo.

Thanks good shootin Isaac

that's my favorite form load! it does great things with hornady 53gr match too...

nice rig....50/50 blk/org?

Thanks guys. Yes it's 50 orange.

Going to have PT&G build me a reamer, is there any need to send them a dummy round or do they have the 75 amax seated long figured out by now?

The 75A-Max is seated "long" in a SAAMI throat.

A 2.450" COAL kiss to same,will always put you in friendly territory...though I've got 'em longer and shorter both..................

Needs me some dies, if anyones thinning the stack.

Cross fingers,them is THE longest of odds.................

According to kiffy I still have a week or three to sit back and hope before my reamer shows.

Midsouth and Midway,routinely stock Vanilla Redding 223AI FL dies...but you might could waiting on the bushing versions..............
