My new 223 by Keith

Post by Seddo »

Hi guys,

My latest 223 build was waiting for me at the post office this morning, smithed by Keith Hill. Its a Win 70 (yes i love them) action with a 30" 7 twist pacnor barrel, McMillan stock, timney trigger & sightron 8-32. Keith fitted up a single shot follower in the stock to make loading easier as the stock doesnt have an internal mag in it. I went home for lunch and put the trigger in it, mounted the scope and took a pic. Here it is:

I really want to see how this shoots next to my other Mod 70 223 with a pacnor 8 twist 27" barrel.

I have the following projies to play with:
80gr JLK
80gr AMax
80gr VLD Berger
805gr Berger
90gr berger
and i have some 90gr JLK's on the way too.

Should be an interesting few months!!

Looks very nice Seddo, Is your club running FT/R at the moment? How many other participants do you guys have?

I thought you were a Savage/Stevens man. :lol:
