I have an old 116 (long action) in .223. It's ugly as sin --- with a too flexible forearm on the plastic stock. I put a Sharp Shooter's trigger on it --- had to hog out the trigger recess in the stock to get it to fit. It's extremely accurate with 55 grain Ballistic Tips. It's my stay in the truck all year gun. Dropped a far away Coyote with it last week.
