Hi guys! I am looking to build up a .223 REM that I have in my inventory, into a better 300-500 yard steel/fun gun! Anyways, here is what I'm thinking, throw your suggestions out there.
What I have right now is a Remington 700 26" Varmint 1 in 12" Twist .223 with an SWFA SS 10X42 MIL/MIL
Here is what I am thinking - Choate Tactical (What color should I duracoat or have hydropdipped?), Timney 517 Trigger, EGW 20 MOA Base, KRG Bolt Lift.
I am currently reloading and am trying to get my hands on some Hornady 53gr V-MAX .224" Bullets. If you could help me out there as well, I would appreciate it.
I would definitely consider a McMillan / Manners; however, would the difference in accuracy even be noticeable on the rig that I'm building? Especially considering it's not for competition? If you have a used SA McMillan/Manners, shoot me a PM anyways!
Do you think cutting down the barrel to 18" would cause much of a difference in accuracy and drop out at 300-500 yards?
Any help would be great, as would your suggestions!
Thanks!
