Kevin Weaver just finshed my new 223 wssn. He built it on a mod 70 action (from a scraped 25 wssm that only shot 3 moa on a good day) with a 26" 1-14 #2 fluted by Panor. We are still in the barrel breakin and load development stage. It just fired a 4 shot group with 40gr Nosler BTs over 46grs of Varget at 4406 fps into a sub .4 inch goup at 100yd.
We are going to work up the 52 TSX for whittail after we are satisfied with the coyote loads.
It should only shoot better as the barrel shoots in.

Dr. B Is that a CRF or CRPF action, just wondered.

I'm not sure what a CRPF is.
I bought one of the Model 70, Super Shadow, Blued in 25wssm.
Dr B

I just looked on the web and Winchester describes the gun as having "Controlled Round Push Feed"
Does any one know what this means?
Dr B

Dr B,

It looks like it's a winner!

The extractors are different.
