Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles The newest: Old School

I just inherited a 700 ADL in .223 from a deceased hunting buddy. Decided after picking up a stock on the classifieds, to convert it to BDL. Gathered up the other parts necessary, thanks to 24HCF members.
Gave it a trigger job, a lug bed, and free float.
It seems to like virtually anything in a 55 gr. bullet and Ive already worked up deer/pig and varmint loads for it. It has the propensity to shoot.
Only downside seems to be size and weight. It is a full sized "sporter", and weighs a bit for a .223..
But at my age the only time I'll be carrying it is walking unto a Texas box blind!
