[QUOTE="learjet, post: 246381, member: 8815"] thx guys....ive got 2 tricked out bolt guns now, that i shoot LR. both are savages, a 308 w a mcgowen tube, and a 300wsm that shoots very well, after simply bedding the action in a nicer stock please understand, im not lookin for match accuracy in either the ar or the stevens 223. the ar is a carbine the kids shoot for grins, and i pop groundhogs around the barnyard with. it shoots an honest 1.5moa w 55g vmaxes, its quick, light, and easy to point. it serves its intended purpose well. ill never be single loading it, or shooting matches with it. the stevens 223 i hope will someday be my cheapo LR practice rifle. all i need from it is 1 moa to 600yds w ammo that will shoot 1.5 moa in the ar. i believe if i reduce the freebore in the stevens its possible it will shoot well enough to serve its intended purpose. hence im thinkin i can order a no freebore, standard neck reamer, and simply set the chamber forward. is this a practical idea? ive got less than $200 in the stevens, i dont mind buying the reamer, but i want to make sure i get the reamer i need the first time thx again lear [/QUOTE]
