Playing the Montana game... - 07/10/15
Picked up the Montana 223 last night, mounted a VX2 2X7 in Talley Lightweights. Found the lands and loaded 75gr BTHP's over 2000-MR and headed to the range this morning.
Other than blowing down the barrel I didn't touch it, didn't bed it but the barrel is floating by a hair, didn't touch the trigger, didn't verify the mag box or front base screw but I took the swivel studs off.
Every load I shot, limited barrel cooling time, 100 yds on the bottom and 200 yds on the top. Time to bed it and make some room for Amax's.
