Should I build a 223 Trainer?

Thanks. I have an MPA Comp chassis set to go. Was for sale, now it’s not! I think I need an intervention.

The mpa is a way better choice agreed, I got one for compition and my trainer

You're in California. Learn to reload. End of story.

There's plenty of us around the Esco area that can show you the ropes...

Hate to bug. You mentioned Esco and the Pala range. Would you have any recommendations for a good gunsmith in the same general area? Someone who can flute a bolt and replace a barrel?

Thanks much.

What kind of action? (PM me).

The 223, aside from being a decent trainer for Creedmoor, will probably surprise you with performance and could become your mid range comp rifle.
I use my Tikka 223 Varmint as my 600m and under comp rifle for PSR and FTR and another calibre for the longs. Cheap as hell to shoot (even in Australia) and very accurate. Just need to watch your wind more.
