I'm still thinking on the .223. The stock is definitely more than needed for the trim little rifle that sits in it and the wood is more blonde, not as nice as the 7X57, but the overall shape is the same.
Really busy last night and tonight so haven't had time to even make up dummy rouunds to run through to check feeding or to check the throating.
I'm warming up to that 7X57 by the minute but just haven't devoted much time to the .223 yet.
It looks like it will make a great rifle with the same bit of tweaking and wood finishing as the larger one, but I'm not sure I'm up to two projects like that. Plus, I hold it next to my Kimber of Oregon M84 .223 and, well, there just isn't any comparison.
But we'll see.
