    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    Shall do. Super hot around here and I don't get to the range much above 90°. If she groups well I'll probably end up getting another At One, Boyd's stock for it as well as a better bolt handle

    Soooooo, Bass Pro's website said they had CZ 600 Alpha in stock. I went down to go take a look at it and it was not in inventory. BUT they had a used Gen 2 RAR in 223 in that cooler gray stock for $460. It followed me home

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    Yeah the more I read and research around I think a $600ish generic 223 bolt is going to land me in a Ruger American Ranch. Not sure whether to go with a gen 1 or a gen 2. Gen 2 is more $ out of the box at retail whereas gen 1, being still out there, I can get for low $500 somewhere. And if I...

    CZ 600 Alpha Any thoughts on this guy? Propriety mags, I'm sure. I guess I have to call to see if they have 10 rounders. https://www.czfirearms.com/en-us/products/centerfire-rifles/cz-600-series/cz-600-alpha

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    Yes, this is basically my situation. What's got my interest piqued about getting a 223/556 bolt gun has been my experience per above with the RAR in x39. In all my years of shooting AKMs, VZ58, Dracos and similar only to get best 3ish inch groups I would have NEVER expected to shoot 1"ish...

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    Mainly a bench-rest plinker out to 400yds at hanging steel. If I can pick off clays at 100 and 200 I'm a happy camper. I have several thousand rounds backed up over the years of Wolf Gold, PRVI M193 in Battle Packs and PMC Gold .223 Battle Packs. Somewhat the point of this .223/556 bolt gun...

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    My Gen 1, RAR in x39 is a great little rifle. I paid $425 a couple years ago from an outfit called Family Firearms down in Alabama. I dunno if it was on blow-out, cuz the Gen 2 came out 6 months or so later. They’re outta business now. some kerfuffle with the ATF or something. I cycled the...

    1:9 is best for 55gr ?

    Yea, this is kinda where I'm at.

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    Budget? I dunno. I'm not really looking to build up a $2k chasis + custom everything rig tailored to hand loads. Kinda the point is to get something besides an AR to start burning through this ammo.

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    I'm mainly a milsurp guy but have put together a couple of new/commercial bolt action rifles, supressed, and thinking about going further. My RPR in .308 is astonishing (to me) for the money. Just landed a 1" group @ 300yds wi 175gr FGMM. An RAR in x39 in a nice Boyd's stock has delivered...

    Seeking Low Back Pressure .30cal Can (so many choices)

    GS455 Well-known member Feedback:12 / 1 / 0 36ti's first impressions: I once shot a half dozen rounds from a buddy’s bolt gun with a popular can from 10 years ago. I think it was a Gen1 RPR. I was blown away with the amount of suppression and have been pining for one ever since. Beyond that I...

    1st Suppressor / 1st Day Out (HUXWRX FLOW Range 36 Ti)

    Had it out for a second time last weekend and remain amazed how tight groups are getting on the Rock River LAR 8 Elite Operator. I actually pulled off a 1", 5 shot group using 168 grain Federal Gold Medal Match. All these years I thought it was a 2+" gun. So either bare-muzzled or with the 36...
