Nathan F pretty keen on seeing some more photos and some details on your set up. Sounds and looks like something I’ve been hoping to set up.
X-Bolt. 1:8 22" barrel shooting 73gn ELD-Ms @2900fps.

the old workhorse, Zastava with a 1:8 twist 22 inch CZ barrel. still using the hornady 55gn soft point as i have about 400Attachment 247541 of these left
OK , not a Deer Rifle ( Dingoe spotlighting rig ) but it is my only .223 now .
Howa 1500 Factory 20 inch Fluted heavy barrel , Stocky’s Carbon Stock .
Basically 9 pounds , no ammo/no bipod
The slip on recoil pad isn’t to tame the massive recoil of the .223 , but to increase the length of the stupidity short stock .
Shoots 77gn TMK’s into genuine repeatable 16mm groups at 100m .
It’s a cheap Rig that just works , and the Meopta 2-10 scope is the best scope low light scope I’ve found so far . We never shoot over 250yrds at night so there is no need to dial etc .

@mawzer308 how do you rate the stac? I've seen a few around at good $$'s. I need a new scope for my .250.
So far I think they're good value. Seem solidly built, repeatable adjustments and happy with the glass. My mate compared his Nightforce Atacr at last light and was really surprised how close the sightron was in performance.
Set up for bush hunting only.
Browning BLR Lightweight Takedown in 223. Shortened to 14", DPT suppressor (DPT neoprene suppressor cover now replaced with Weka rubber cover - which I can recommend), Aimpoint Red Dot on top. 12" twist rate. Steel magazine holds 5 rounds. Shoots well, use Sako Gamehead SP 55g. Zero'd at 25m. Not light, about 3.7kg, but a joy to carry in hand and hunt with in the bush.
