this_is_nascar 162 Posted March 13, 2012 I've started reading about the .223 Remington round. It appears to be a popular, widely available round, that's good for general shooting up to a couple hundred yards. Which rifles that utilize the .223 round would you recommend?

lunker 274 Posted March 13, 2012 Most AR platform rifles shoot .223/5.56mm ammo. There is a lot of variety in them. You could buy a heavy barrel White Oak or Rock River Arms AR that will let you nail dimes at 100 yards (with good ammo, of course). Or you could get a short AR that gives you combat accuracy (a few inches at 100 yards) in a lighter and more mobile package. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siderman 1,140 Posted March 13, 2012 I'm waiting for the Mossberg MVP line to get settled in before I make any decisions on getting my first 223/5.56. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackDaWack 2,895 Posted March 13, 2012 This is like asking what 9mm pistol to buy.... options. are. endless. Build an AR15 that will suit exactly your needs. If you buy anything else your limited to it's capabilities, while you can change damn near anything on an ar15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malice4you 627 Posted March 13, 2012 I got a Savage 10FCP-K in .223. Bolt action with 5 rd mag, heavy fluted barrel with brake, accutrigger, and accustock. I've been happy with it so far, but I've only put a 160 rounds through it so far. Can pick it up for under $850 new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ronald Silver 2 Posted March 16, 2012 I like the bull barrels. Why don't you move up to a commie round? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
