[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 789326, member: 35183"] Or consider a 243 Win. If your 223 has a 9 twist, you should try shooting some Superformance Match ammo from Hornady (75gr). That is about as good as it will get in the BC dept. If you have not done it already, you are going to have to open up the barrel channel on the front of your noodle, er stock, :D so that it remains clear of the barrel when the front of the stock is on a rest or bipod. I had to remove nearly 1/8" of material on mine before it stayed clear. You HAVE to check it in the shooting position, on the bipod because it has so much deflection in it and that rifle is very barrel heavy. The stock is actually far too light. You would do much better with an inexpensive Boyds or Stockys stock, the laminated stocks are actually very stiff and the bedding is better too.
