Thread: 223 on deer

The DPT Mini overbarrel is a great .223 suppressor.

Currently on page 58, hopefully there will be something on suppressors soon, and I can add that to my list.

hogue stocks are dirt cheap.... so dont stress that bit if find one in other stock.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but @tac 01 I hate everything about that rifle! Where is the fine grain walnut with hand checking? The curved pistol grip, like a woman's waist? The hogback stock with functional cheek piece?

Plant (walnut) trees and save the world! Then craft more walnut rifle stocks!

Dinosaur RULE the world!

Lucky you wont ever have to use it then chief. Rifles like this are tools for me, not ornaments.

So, if I want a light workhorse thats weather proof and accurate, this is it.

Will have a look at Dpt suppressors when next in Hunting and Fishing, Cheers

@tac a1 what barrel length is that?

Unless you oil the stock with Nimrod's recipe.

Can someone chime in with the magazine length needed to fit the longer bullets, i.e., 80 gn ELDX without impacting to much into the case.

Its 18' Scotty. Suppressor makes its look longer but.

Its slightly weighted barrel forward which is how I wanted it set up. There's not going to be a bipod on this one.

2.390 inches COAL, any shorter and the ogive will be in the case mouth.

I’m seating mine out to about 2.440” that has the shank/boattail junction just a little past the neck/shoulder on the case.
