Grasshopper, How does your 223 shoot. you plan to rebore. Any complaints?
fourbore,
My .223 Rem Lo-Wall remains unfired, as yet... And I don't have any plans to shoot it. I have other .223's, thus it's a moot point. I purchased it purely for a project gun. I have another, also N.I.B. in .22 Hornet, that I have plans to make a .25/20 or a .32/20... Cant' decide which...
Also own Browning Lo-Walls in .243 Win, and .22 K-Hornet. The K-Hornet shoots like a dream, and is one of my very favorite rifles for shortrange varminting or just playing around...
I haven't seen the new Talley mounts as yet, but I can't wait to get my hands on some... Gotta be better than those UGLY Burris bases that Browning used to sell.
Good: I like the stocks on the low-walls. I prefer a pistol/grip stock and a good recoil pad. Love the schnabel fore-end.
Also like the exposed hammer and the directional ejector guide, or stop... what ever one wishes. I've never had any issues with the triggers.
BAD: I believe it to be a waste of good wood on the ones with a cresent butte! ESPECIALLY on the heavier recoilers, i.e: .45/90, .405 Win, etc...
P.S: I also own B-78's in .300 H&H, and .405 Win (Currently in process). And I have 1885 Hi-walls in .225 Win. 7mm WSM, and .325 WSM. And .38/55...
Thus, overall, to say I like them would be an understatement...
