I have a Remington 223 ackley factory barrel sporter barrel that's cut to 21 inches. I'm trying to decide to go with the mcswirly or the edge but can't make my mind up. What would you guys do and why?

EDGE for me every time.
Especially with a short barreled LW rifle.

I'd do an Edge with your setup.

Generally speaking the same stock will be 7-8 oz lighter in the edge fill.
So the question now is "what are you gonna do?"

What would you guys do and why? I sold all my painted and/or Edges...I don't like paint, so it's swirl for me. Depending on model, and who/how they're made that day, the differences can be minor.

I currently have 3 mcswirlys my next build is getting a edge.
I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6!

Funny, I sold all my swirlies.

I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...
