[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3038174, member: 11459"] 223 bolt guns have been my favorite to shoot at distance for a long time. I've almost always had a fast twist 223 of some variety. You really have to load to get the most out of it though, with factory ammo it's pretty worthless beyond about 700-800 yards because of the restrictions of what can fit in an AR mag which is what all but a handful of loads go by. You can buy any one of a number of factory 8 twist rifles (bolt or gas gun) and Norma, IMI, Federal or Black Hills 77gr match ammo and put in work out to 800 yards. Beyond that you need to load a long high BC bullet and you need flashers on targets or fresh paint, low mirage, and high end glass to spot hits and a dry environment to spot misses. With the right load and conditions it's effective to beyond 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
