Posted By: Beaver10 223AI is finally done... - 07/29/20
What started out as a fast, 3-4 week turn around, ended up being almost 7 months of delays, mostly due to Covid.

Got my proof of life, teaser pics today that it’s done.

Build

Rem 700 action I provided.

I asked Robert, one of the owners of Alamo Precision Rifle to work his magic on the receiver by printing and slicking the action, turning the bolt - making spirals, cutting in a side bolt release, then change out the bolt handle to a tactical version.

Barrel originally was going to be a Bart with a 2b contour. That had some timing issues on the front end, so I ended up with a Mueller Works cut barrel 1-8 chopped and threaded at 23” in a similar contour.

Added a HS Precision dbm. I may not get the leg room in the box compared to other dbm’s, but, I like the low profile mag box for my hunting needs.

Triggertech Primary

20 MOA rail

Stock is a CF Alamo Precision Hunter. For me this stock is the most comfortable hunting frame I’ve owned.

Color paint was whatever they wanted to do that would work for field use.

As for curb appeal...I’m stoked. Should have my paws on it when I get back from vacation.

Pecker tongs? Even for a west Coastie that is quality...grin.
What bullet you using Beav?
Haven't tried them on game yet but the Sierra 77gr TMK is extremely accurate in my Hawk Hill barreled Montana.

I’m going to try them...Higgins, I think had some success with them.

I also have a pile of 55 grain Vmax bullets for turning small fur inside out.

Looks like another nice build - congrats!
Looks sweet!
