Thread: looking to buy a .223, what is important and what is BS?

As the others are saying. I shoot a Tikka T3 in .223 (standard barrel and stock, trigger etc). My barrel is a 1:8" twist and frankly the rifle shoots better than I can.

I use factory .64grain projectiles. Hoping to explore reloading soon.

I got my barrel threaded the same as my .308 so I use my .308 suppressor on it. I kept the length (I'd shortened the .308) and have never been bothered by the 'extra' length.

Watch out for a spare (higher capacity) magazine to go with it to.

I use mine mainly on wallabies. Great hunting and lots of fun.
