UPDATE

Took a 22cal 1-8 twist varmint taper barrel and chambered it for a Savage action that I had laying around. Chambered it to 223 Rem, nothing done to the action, factory recoil lug, bolted it in a B&C M40 stock, Leupould 6-18 with Burris Zee Rings and Weaver mounts. Loaded up 10 rounds of ammo, load consist of lake city brass, federal 205M primer, 26.5gr of benchmark and a Hornady 50gr v-max. And out the door I went. After using three rounds to zero @ 100 and getting it close to the bull, the next 7 rounds when into a 5/8" cluster. Im sure it would better with working up a load but wanted to see just how good Green Mountain barrels were. If I was offered another 37 for the price I paid for these I would grab them in a heart beat, not bench rest accuracy but good enough for match shooting and varmint hunting.
