Guys, Here is yet another one of Karl's work that I'm looking forward to getting acquainted with. After all the talk about .223AI (and seeing Karl's work), I decided I had to try one and was tired of trimming .223 brass. Therefore, it seemed logical to try one out with a fast twist. Specs: - Rock Creek 5R 1/8 twist finished @ 22" and throated for 75 AMAX - Rem. Varmint contour - Borden Alpine receiver - Shilen trigger - Williams floorplate - McMillan Remington Varmint stock (50% Black, 25% Dark Gray, 25% Light Gray)

I don't always venture out into the sub-freezing darkness, but when I do, it is deer hunting season, and I carry a Remington. Stay hungry my friends.
