About to hand my AR15 in - pity, as it runs a large scope and has been simply AMAZINGLY accurate for long range bunnies/hares/goats.
Who has a recommendation for a suitable replacement?
Keeping the scope (2.5-17.5x56 S-TAC) so ideally a heavier chassis-based rifle would be the plan.
Not entirely sold on the bull barrel thing, but don't want a pencil-whip.
Would've been tempted by a Ruger Precision Rifle, but apparently they don't offer it in the manly calibre ;)
A couple of people are doing the Howa mini action with heavy barrel, 223 1-8, in a chassis, Broncos for instance

Howa chassis is a bloody good deal.
Also cant really go wrong with a Tikka 1:8
+1 for the Tikka 1:8
Styer 223 Prohunter if they have any left. Stopped production of them.
Came with set trigger and a medium 22" Barrel.

If an old fart like me can carry this all day, so can you.
It currently wears a S-Tac 4-20x50.

Theres not a lot of actual choice left right now at the importers . 223's have been hot sellers .
So does that mean Cinders will get a big thankyou cardQuote:

So which fence standard has the grouping on show …….. can't quite work it out?Quote:

I’ve got an MDT ESS chassis still sitting waiting for some use too if you are after one.

Otherwise if you can find a B&C stock, they’re also a nice upgrade for accuracy.
