Finally get to add to this thread.

223 wearing a old Swaro and DPT.

Iv just put this together over the past week it’s being a long week with everything else but this has kept it exciting I went to pick the rifle back up Friday and the smith cocked up the thread so had to wait on another dpt that thankfully with the rings and new mount for the bipod arrived Saturday morning . .223 chopped to 17 3/4 “ dpt can slipped a timney trigger in which took some filing off the factory stock to fit and function correctly. Everything bar the rings dpt and trigger sourced from the forum pre loved . It shot the hnf bulk Hornady 55gn ok . It hated the Belmont 55gn lapua sp (mainly miss fires) the 55gn Sierra hand loads from its previous lover and it’s 20” barrel shot tiny little bug holes even with the chop and I didn’t get to shoot the 62 63 or 65 not sure which one Sierra hand loads as we were kicked out because apparently sundays is pistol day at our range . Theirs a lot of the 55 at my local but their very expensive so I’m hoping to duplicate the accuracy with 2206h and 55 hornadys very fun we rifle

Hey @Kelton what Burris scope do have on there? Any good? Will soon look to upgrade mine.

I’d have to check in the morning mate I got it second hand off here it’s 2.5-10 fullfield IV I think with one of Burris reticles . E3 maybe? It seems lovely and clear notably heavy though reticle looks nice but iv only had one range trip with absolutely optimal light conditions so I can’t actually give you a real world real scenario opinion as yet but stay tuned in the .223 on deer thread and il update as I go . First impressions I’m happy reticle is a huge plus for me given the ranges I want to shoot no need for dials but should make for fun on longer range varmints ones validated . Burris reticle calculator seems a useful and simple tool

Shoots the 65 game king very well 3 at 100mtrs with the 10 power scope that’s a really good group for me at that zoom I usually shoot groups at 100 around 12-15 power seems to be what suites my eyes best at 100 just made it to Wilson’s before closing and snatched up 100 new brass and am waiting on some targex from a mate of mine to arrive fingers crossed for the morning courier hunting for the weekend is canned with the weather but I’m hopeful to make the range tomorrow evening

Just picked up a first year 243 Rem Mod 7 to accompany my 7mm08 Custom KS

Hi Guys,
I have a model 7 in 223 with the x-mark pro trigger. I have tried fingering with it but remain unsatisfied with then weight of pull.
Am wondering what others have done to either lighten this trigger successfully or have you given up and gone aftermarket.
I would like to see if the factory trigger could be remedied in the first instance due to funds.
I have seen lighter firing pins. Does this change anything on the weight of pull?
