It's a 243 ackley, 23.5" shilen barrel on a remington 600 action. Brown Precision stock. I usually run the 55 NBT or the 58 vmax, shoot real well at over 4000fps. During deer or antelope I will switch to the 85 tsx. The sierra 85 hpbt shoots the lights out as well.

Leupie VXI 3-9 in Talleys. Weighs around 7.25lbs I think? I prefer some weight in the barrel, makes for steadier off hand shooting. MtnHtr

firearms44 Campfire Tracker F Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 4,373 NEW HAMPSHIRE	I took the easy route rather then a build. Purchased a Model 7 Predator 223. Wears full camo and fluted barrel 1-9 twist. Used Talley bases and right now has a Vortex Viper 2-7 BDC. I have ordered a Nikon Coyote 3-9 in Mossy Oak Brush. Camo on the Nikon is pretty close to the camo on the rifle. Not sure if I'll do the AI thing yet. Weight up right now at 7 pounds 6 ounces. Ken

Took Bob along for an afternoon birdfeeding expedition yesterday. No yote sightings but the wind was blowing and I imagine they were hunkered down pretty tight. That rifle has officially gone feral......(grin) Keeping warm up north Jay? Last edited by SamOlson; 01/15/11.

My 204 and 22-250AI are both 24", but they are a Remington sporter factory contour, so they are not heavy. I would just stick to a lighter contour barrel...
