Thread: Advice for new 223

the both my 243s feed flawlessly and are externally identical to the 223

and well the 243 hits a lot harder for a tiny bit more recoil

Thats interesting. I've never handled a kimber montana or a model7 for that matter so good to hear things like that. this purchase will most likely be done with out seeing either in the flesh. When I bought the cz I had only seen pictures and read about them. the safety took me by surprise and I still don't really like the way it is moved back to fire. Also this rifle has to be 223 for my goat work.
