I have a Remington 700 in .223 that I am considering rebarreling to get better accuracy. I want to stay with a .223 so not interested in anything besides .223 remington. I’m going to coyote hunt and deer hunt with the rifle so it needs to have a twist rate that will be optimal for 50-55 grain bullets and still handle 60 grainers for deer. I want a barrel with a contour That will be handy for carrying around. I do not want a heavy contour or bull barrel. This will be a hunting rifle that will be carried all over the place. I am hoping to achieve somewhere between dime and quarter size groups at 100 yards. I realize I may have to play with different loads to get the results I’m hoping for even with a precision barrel. So give me some good ideas for custom barrel manufacturers that make the barrel in looking for.
THERE IS ALOT OF WORK THAT CAN BE DONE TO YOUR RIFLE IF IT A FACTORY RIFLE FOR ACCURACY IF YOUR HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT BEFORE YOU START WITH THE BARREL
Hmm. This may be a good point. ETA: Hmmm, Hmmm - I see you've got this covered.THERE IS ALOT OF WORK THAT CAN BE DONE TO YOUR RIFLE IF IT A FACTORY RIFLE FOR ACCURACY IF YOUR HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT BEFORE YOU START WITH THE BARREL
Adds about a pound over a light weight barrel. My guess is around 8 lbs. For the coyote and deer stand hunting I do thats not bad. Here in IL we are still stuck with slug guns for deer so guess I'm use to a little extra weight. Usually only walk 20 minutes or so to a stand or coyote set. I do think a medium contour barrel makes a 223 more all purpose. It makes a decent varmint gun, long range plinker and is ok from a stand. My 223s/204s etc... range from about 7 lbs to 16 lbs depending on the use. I'd go lighter if I planned to carry it a good portion of the day or as a truck gun.For a rifle that's going to be 'carried all over the place'?
HAVE YOU GOT ANY H-4895 IF SO TRY THAT WITH THE 50GR VMAX WITH 450 PRIMERS BUT DONT GET UPSET YET BECAUSE YOUR FACTORY RIFLE IS NOT READY FOR ACCURACY TESTING UNTIL THE CORRECTING ARE MADE IT LIKE BUILDING A DRAG RACING ENGINE FOR THE GROUND UP SEVERE THE SAME ISSUSES I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE A GOOD RIFLE IF THE PROPER STEPS WERE TAKINGI’ve played with several loads with 50 and 55 grain V max using h322 and cfe22 so far. I have an IMR powder I was reading about that guys have had success with that I will try and varget is on the list. The trigger on this gun pulled way over 6 pounds and I have a Timney ready to go in it before I go any further. I know that will help but I also know it’s not all of the issues. Stock bolts were tight. I do have barrel to stock contact that will be addressed soon. I may get what I’m looking for out of this gun tinkering with it but my experience tells me I’ve got too far to go most likely.
