Oops I did it again.

Post by dashooter »

So, I was on the lookout for a nice sedate .222 Rem and I had found a nice Tikka M590 to fill the urge.
That all changed pretty quick when I found a Mark V in .224 Weatherby at a really good price.
Was a .223 Rem and has had a TSE barrel screwed on. 1-12 twist which should be ok.
So now I need some brass and dies. Lol

Always a cartridge that tickled my fancy, spose you will be on the look out for a wooden stock to flash it up proper now? Good scoring.

It’s not a Weatherby Rocket but it will do. Lol
Not sure about the stock option camel.
Will see what comes up in the marketplace.
Still haven’t finished the .22 hornet stock I got from Hatchers yet either. Image

Soooo, will it remain a 223? A little pedestrian for you I would have thought. Sure you aren't going to run a 223AI in that chamber?

No, it was a .223 and the previous owner saw the light and had it rebarreled to .224 Weatherby.
Only problem now is it’s stuck in QLD until they open up their gun shops again.
