$6k, huh? Does that make my Kimber Montana .223 $5k?  First cat that offers me $5k for my .223 Montana is an owner.  If someone offered me $6k for my 224 or 280 FC I'd sell in a heartbeat. On the other hand, I'm hanging on to my 223. What was the action length on the demos? Was it the micro that they had talked about? You got some unique chamberings. Yes they are Micro Actions. I had the opportunity to buy a 300blkout but I passed and now I'm kicking myself. That’s pretty neat. You may have posted before in one of your old posts what’s the mag box? You mean the length? I'll have to dig them out of the safe. My only real gripe is the micros have a 3D printed follower, so there's a little bit of texture on it so when chambering the last round it's kinda gritty. It is the micro action, so rare. The twist is right, but I remember seeing the mag length and it's too short for heavies in the 223. Well less than 2.5". It's posted somewhere on the forums here. I was going to try to bid on it or the 6.8, but [bleep] elevated quickly. LOL. Found it. Fieldcraft micro-action mag box internal length is 2.436" (SAAMI max + .176")https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/12580025/4

Okay so who bought the .308 I posted about yesterday? Guess my LGS got “many” calls but whoever got it mentioned me. Nor I. By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask you, what’s your local store?

One could build a quality light weight custom for that. Exactly. And have a way better piece.

Another 223 and 6.8 are listed. Not sure if they are the same rifles or just the same configuration.

I was on the 6.8 but quickly got out of the race. Recognized a name or two from here in the bid history on the 5.56. This will be the third one they’ve sold, maybe this one won’t be bad. Both different rifles -I wondered too.

Fieldcraft micro-action mag box internal length is 2.436" (SAAMI max + .176") Yep...kinda puts a damper on any excitement for me.

One could build a quality light weight custom for that. Heck, you could buy three of various calibers/cartridges and have all of your needs covered and still buy components. To each their own.
