[QUOTE="HobieH3, post: 1600864, member: 108730"] Thinking about a 223 AI. I like the Tikka Varmint with the adjustable stock. Plusses for the Tikka: 1. adjustable composite stock. 2. Could buy a used rifle and just shoot .223 until I have it rechambered. 3. $$, especially initial layout Minus for the Tikka: 8" twist may not be enough for heavier/longer bullets. Pluses for the Shaw: 1. 7" twist available in 26" barrel. 2. Trued action. 3. That fluted barrel looks awesome. Minuses for the Shaw: 1. lack of adjustable composite stock. 2. 10 month wait. By that time the 6.5 Creedmore may have made everything else obsolete . ;) 3. Have to start reloading sooner. Thoughts? Anybody got a Shaw? Question on fireforming brass: best to use once fired and/or annealed, or just get factory 223 with decent brass and shoot it? [/QUOTE]
