I have been looking for a .223 Rem bolt rifle for almost a year now. In my local area, anything .223, 5.56 or 308 is non existent.
Last night I found a Savage 110 Predator in .223 Rem. Of course, I quickly decided to buy it and put my spare Bushnell Engage Tactical 3-12x40 scope on it. I would rather have a Vortex or Leupold, but the Bushnell is working nicely.
Anyway, I really wanted something with a 1:8 twist, but this has a 1:9. So I am figuring that my 75 grain BTHP are out of the question, shame too cause I have over 1000 of them. So I think I am going to shoot the 69 grain Nosler Custom Competition bullets, since I have 500 of those on hand.
On the bright side it shoots the Frontier XM193 ammo reasonably well so I am sure it will shoot pretty well. 12 rounds a little over MOA. I am gonna blame it on wind, but who knows. It was very windy today.
