OP tzone Campfire 'Bwana T Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 46,745 Just The Tip	If Kimber is discontinuing the .223 Rem in a Montana. What do you suggest? It will get shot at targets, it will get taken hunting for deer, it will ride on wheelers and in trucks. I do reload and it must be stainless. Camp is where you make it.

This is the 1-10”, it also shoots the 64 gr Nosler BSB into groups like this. Whatever the 1-10” does, the 1-8” does just as well. I’m working on a 70 gr Nosler RDF load with the 1-8” that I probably won’t try with the 1-10”. P Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable.

We shoot them quite a ways out. My most accurate load is the Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint with Benchmark at 3400 FPS. No pics of the Superlite. They are both a blast to shoot. Light, accurate, and easy to load for. I bought this one used from Shortactionsmoker. He did the load work up for the 64 gr BSB and posted about it. Then he put it in the classifieds. I jumped on it.

Didn't shoot like I expected and I didn't like the stock. I'm sure they're nice rifles, they're just not for me. Camp is where you make it.

If those 6.5 95gr VMax's shoot they would be a very decent coyote killers. Probably a little rough on the hides, if that matters to you.

Tikka T-3 stainless synthetic - you don't see any posts titled "Tikka Roulette". They are a "plug and play" rifle - install rings & scope and go shoot. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.
