Just stopped in to the local Sportsmans Warehouse. Rem 700 ADL package on sale for $414 ( $379 after rebate) Then they throw in a fee air gun- supposed to be a $130 value. I left with a .223...I feel like such a rifle slut... Now all I gotta do is get rid of the cheap scope and stock, and trigger!

I really miss the Whorehouse here in GB. They shut them down a while back. Even tho we ended up with a Cabela's - I like SW better.

Don't worry about getting rid of the bolt handle. That will come off eventually...Then you can just throw the whole thing away.

That only happens on the .270s....the bolt handles can't stand the stigma that comes with being gay.

Don't make fun of the air gun. The price was right, its supposed to shoot a blistering 1260fps, and may come in handy at the gates of the Norman Bates Squirrel Motel...for as long as it lasts.....

Mike It doesn't need to be anything that big. I shoot deer with a .223 and I don't want to drag anything bigger than a deer.... I am actually thinking of a lightweight .222 at this point. I should only change my mind about 11 times before I actually do something.....

Dats for damn sure! I especially hate them on a .22-250 and they are limiting on a deuce. We just put together a heavy deuce for my shooting pard, using a fat Remmy take off Bbl with a 1 in 12 Even that was a HUGE improvement, especially when we stuck 55 grainers in it. If I end up buying a new barrel, it'll be fairly tight, if I use a take off, it damn sure wont be a 1 in 14...

How come I never find these deals? That falls right in line with your ridiculous theory that little calibers work on everything. You are one of those puzzies that can't handle a man sized rifle too. I can see where you'd do much better with an air rifle. Powered by a lot of hot air and smoke blowing.. Someone with their head in their azz has a tendency to not find good deals. Just sayin.. Killing really isn't that hard. For some.

Comes with a much better stock than the 223! I'll go $125 to Texas.

What Mr. Cool doesn't say is his neighborhood is full of low-income housing.
I would build a fast-twist .204 and shoot heavy bullets, to prevent you from having to watch through the scope during the instant innocent wild animals die.

222 Remington, 1-8" twist, Winchester M70 Featherweight barrel contour, in an Edge stock, barrel 20-21".
Should be under 6.5 pounds with a 2-7x Overkill. I vote for a 1 in 8" .221 Fireball. Ingwe would again be unique, having one. You must missed the part where I ruled out Fireballs. Thats something someone from Oregon would use....

Don't worry about getting rid of the bolt handle. That will come off eventually...Then you can just throw the whole thing away. Yep that happens every 100,000 or so... and I've had a bad Zeiss before too... and a leupold and ..... but as long as I keep awya from a 270 I should be ok.

The 6/222 has been pulling at my coat tail lately. A 6x45 is cheaper to do, but the lil 6/222 with a 80 or 85 gr ball is still stout enough to have more energy than a standard 223.

And leave the trigger. When it snaps off, you can still fire it with the safety....

Just stopped in to the local Sportsmans Warehouse. Rem 700 ADL package on sale for $414 ( $379 after rebate) Then they throw in a fee air gun- supposed to be a $130 value. I left with a .223...I feel like such a rifle slut... Now all I gotta do is get rid of the cheap scope and stock, and trigger! So, after you sell the scope, barrel, stock, and air rifle, (I don't think you can sell that trigger) how much will you have into the action?

Nope, just continually impressed by the level of dumpphuckness that comes from Oregon.
BSA, JeffO, Ringy, Firenuts, Spanky etc etc. It's quite impressive. In our defense, Spanky is a Kalifornia transplant...

No .20 VarTarg?
Sometimes I think that may be the ideal small-rodent varmint cartridge, but haven't quite, uh, pulled the trigger on one yet. Did get to shoot a loaner for a while a few years ago, and was pretty impressed. A 32 at 3600-3700 or 40 at 3250-3300 would work pretty well, and all you have to do is run a .221 case into a FL die.

ingwe, I second the lightweight 222. I just got one back from the smith and have been playing with it a little.
I was going to post all the details one I get it all dialed in. It is down to 50gr TTSX, 55gr GMX, or Sierra 65gr Game King.
It is a 700 action, a Montana rifle barrel that I picked up here in 1:9 twist. Mcmillan edge stock that I found on here also.
Mine will have a vortex 2-7 on it after I get done with the load work.

It might get a 6x36, or plain old 4x too. The vortex came on a 358 Win I bought awhile back. The rifle went down the road, but the scope stayed.
I do not do any type of varmint shooting, but I like to chase coyotes and Mt lions here in SD. It will also be real easy keep in the truck, on the 4 wheeler, or in the tractor when working out at the ranch on my days off.
I could have been happy with a Ti takeoff too, but the Edge had been sitting around looking for something to do.

No PPCs for this kid...I have serious questions about their sexual orientation. IIRC Jim Carmichel used a 6mm PPC to win a Benchrest match in 2008-09. You too could be cool like Jim. Also,Jim likes the .280 over the .270. Other than that little "glitch" Jim is one cool dude.

Ok,I was wrong on Jim Carmichel winning a Benchrest match in 2008-09. Here is what he did. Jim set a new World Record in March 2012 in the Light Varmint Class Benchrest Rifle(10.5 lbs max.) The new record is 100 yd aggregate group average size of .1441" for five five-shot groups. Got the info from the Nosler Reloading Manual #7 on page 167,which is the introduction of the 6mm PPC.

I vividly remember reading JC after he took over at Outdoor Life. He was talking up the 280.
I remember looking at the 280 and thinking, huh, it can't be too bad as it does the same thing with 140gr bullet as the 270 does with the 130gr.
Then continued using the 270 for the last 30+ years.

Why not go REALLY big and do a 257 Kimber? That'd be a cool way to go. Like CT said about the 6x45, I've got the canthelpits for a 257 Kimber. I could happily get by with the 6x45, though.

Ok,I was wrong on Jim Carmichel winning a Benchrest match in 2008-09. Here is what he did. Jim set a new World Record in March 2012 in the Light Varmint Class Benchrest Rifle(10.5 lbs max.) The new record is 100 yd aggregate group average size of .1441" for five five-shot groups.
Dude......I can get that size group any day of the week by only firing one shot out of a deuce.....better groups, more ammo economy....

He's so cheap - bet he'll end up shooting 223s out of it. I have actually thought about that. Believe it or not, I have only one .223 right now, and enough ammo loaded to burn the barrel on it easily....I need another .223.....

Come on ingwe, you know it is not about neeed!
Went to the range today to work on my 222. Settled on the load will start another thread later tonight about the non magnum 222.
I have a archery deer tag to fill, and we are losing daylight here. Fortunately the stand is only a few minutes from the house.

I vividly remember reading JC after he took over at Outdoor Life. He was talking up the 280.
I remember looking at the 280 and thinking, huh, it can't be too bad as it does the same thing with 140gr bullet as the 270 does with the 130gr.
Then continued using the 270 for the last 30+ years. Can't say it any better than that

Here you go, don't need no stinkin' 22 caliber magnum, AI or any of that manly stuff for stunt shooting. My donor came from the WalMartian house, not the whorehouse. Here is a couple of 3 shot groups. Some 5 shot groups for verification. Originally a Remington 700 SPS 223 Montana rifle barrel picked up here,1:9, fluted, 22" and 0.575 at the muzzle Mickie edge picked up here. Action skeletonized, timney installed and set at 2 lbs. Talley LWT's Went with Leupy 2.5-8 Weighs 6.5 lbs empty Tried 50gr BT's & TTSX's, 55gr GMX's,& SP, and finally the 65gr Sierra Game Kings before I found a good load. But I think it may have more to do with the BL-C(2) instead of the Rel 10x. I have no idea what the velocity is, I will get it checked someday. This is going to be a truck/ranch/4 wheeler/tractor rifle. I do not do any varmint shooting as in dogtowns. But I like to hunt coyotes, Mt Lions, and shoot coons and skunks at the ranch.

Contribution outside the classifieds - so the Classified Nazis can hereby take a full-on GFY! He's so cheap - bet he'll end up shooting 223s out of it. I have actually thought about that. Believe it or not, I have only one .223 right now, and enough ammo loaded to burn the barrel on it easily....I need another .223..... Whatever floats ya'lls boat, but I gotta wonder about the whole "doner" deal when there's still old Remingtons that ---->>>>> 1956 300 Sav, Bedded, trigger adjusted. (Still have, peep-sighted deer kill'r) 243 SS Mtn Guide. (Elk Ivory's group) (Sold, deer wounding SOB rifle!) Or even a bone stock Savage 12 BVSS (Sold, too accurate? WTF!)

Yes, the barrel was fluted strictly for modest weight reduction. The first 222 I owned was a an absolutely georgous BDL. Way too nice for me to use/abuse. So I sold it to help fund this. Give it a couple of years and it will not be snazzy. Going to range this morning to dial in the leupy and then it will be off to the ranch to get some work done. There was a coyote out there over the weekend...maybe he will show himself again.

Im afraid if I sent you the stock for a leopard print job that it would come back entirely different..... You know...like when you order at the drive up line at any fast food joint. You order this or that and when you get home and open the bag....SURPRISE!

Don't you need 4WD? Hard for electric to pull in 4WD. You probably need the cooler option as well...it replaces the passenger seat where Elk would sit.

Does not need to be a dink. Notice the natural curve of the roof. Any size deer would fit! Hook some ratchet straps up front and in back and he would be in business. I though about the hydrographics, but think he might be too thrifty.
