Just saw one on guns america for sale and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with one or just have any comments about them.
Thanks
Eric

I've read a couple places now that only the first 250 of the 300/223 are going to be 24" the rest will be 26"....not sure if it's true or the reason for the change or if someone was just misinformed.

Yes the first 250 are 24" according to snipercountrypx. My dad has one in 24" and it came with the old trigger (not the externally adjustable one).

Glad to see that these shoot as well as the hype built them up to. I will be getting mine on thursday cant wait to get it to the range.

I wonder if that whole "first 250 are 24 inch" is just to drum up sales. The .308 5R has been 24" since I can remember, it would seem odd they'd use 24" for 250 barrels in .223 and .300 then change to 26". For those of you that have them are they marked in any way to signify a special run "1 of 250" etc?

I have a remy 5r chambered in 300 win mag with the 24 in barrel i dont have any pictures to show you of targets , my son kept them, he and i both bought rifles just a like. out of the box, they shot 3/4 moa with ease, and since the first trip to the range we have had the barrells cryo treated, and had the actions bedded, and i have purchesed a tymney 510 trigger for mine, we had trigger jobs done on the x-mark pro triggers and my sons was pretty good but i wanted one better. we dont reload, and we only shot factory ammo, our best grups were with hornady, 180 gr.superformance. that may change now that whe have done all this work, but a frind of mine works reloads for a living and i am hlping i can shoot the 230 burger vld, or the 208 a-max, ill let you know how it goes.
