    After a five year absence I have just rejoined the 223 club. Some hasty load development was done (with powder I had and projectiles I could find) and I took it out this morning for its hunt.

    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    They are such neat little rifles. Ive never heard of an xbolt that doesn't shoot. 1:8 twist, eh?
    Whats the 'scope.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    Yeah. Very happy with it in the short time I have had it.
    Scope is a VX3HD 3.5-10 x 40 ZL2 with twilight hunter reticule. Might yet swap out my VX5 3-15 that is on my 308 depending on how I end up using it.
