I have a Savage 12BVT with accu-trigger and an 8 Twist, 26" Shilen Stainless Select Match - Small Shank - Varmint – barrel chambered in 223 Wylde. The Shilen barrel is new, and was broken in with 30 rounds following the procedure recommended by Shilen. It showed that it was going to be a great shooter, which is to be expected with a 22 caliber Shilen barrel. I have many more photos for anyone interested in seeing more. I am selling the gun because I bought it from a forum listed as a centerfeed action, which is what I wanted, but it is actually a 4.25 staggered feed action.
For those who don't know, the 223 Wylde chamber was designed as a best of both worlds chamber for competition in order to shoot .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO rounds in one chamber. It was designed with the AR15 in mind, and I have had a Wylde chamber in an AR, and I loved it. The freebore is perfect for the 80 grain sized bullets that match the 1 in 8 twist rate. The previous owner set this gun is up to shoot up to grain bullets to 600 yards for competition. I can provide the load data to the buyer, given to me by the previous owner that he settled on.
Selling the action, machined Northlander recoil lug, EGW 20 MOA base, Shilen Select Match .223 Wylde 26" varmint weight barrel with 30 rounds fired, and thumbhole stock. The original 9 twist high gloss blued fluted barrel with about 500 rounds fired, which was an excellent shooter with 52 and 69 grain bullets is also available.
$695 Shipped or Best Offer to the lower 48.
