doubleA Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Re: remington .223 LVSF JPG522....I bought one of these in 223 Rem over a month ago and still have not been able to shoot it Someday I will get a chance to I mounted a Nikon Monarch 6.5x20 in Leupold mounts/rings but have since got a Leupold M8 12X Varmint to install on the LVSF. I think the later scope will do nicely on the 223. Life is good, Give God the Glory....doubleA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OUTSIDER Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Re: remington .223 LVSF I've got the same rifle...except in 22-250. Havent got to shoot mine...its off getting a custom trigger installed, re-glass bedding, fun stuff like that. I only have one disagreement with you setup....with such a large scope dosen't it defeat the purpose of gettin the "light varmit" model?? i am gonna stick with a scope of 14 ounces or less. Just a thought BUM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleA Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Re: remington .223 LVSF Yes, the Nikon is a little to much for the LVSF. I just mounted a Leupold M8 12X fixed on her. Still havent had a chance to shoot it yet. My thoughts are I am going to see how it shoots and then probably have it re-chambered to 223 Imp. I think the 22" tube it has is a bit short to get what the 22-250 is capable of. I will have wait till it's done but I am sure the improved 223 will be right on the heels of the 22-250 in a 22" barrel with using alot less powder. This morning I weighed the LVSF and she tipped the scales at an even 8 lbs. Just for grins I weighed a big brother of hers, a Rem 40XBKS with a 8.5x25X Leupold and it came in at 12 lbs 2 ozs. 40X is on the left while the LVSF is on the right.

OUTSIDER Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: remington .223 LVSF My set up is taylor made for my run and gun style. I get out and travel here in West Virginia, I cover alot of ground and need a light gun to not weigh me down when i am on the hunt for whistlepigs, coyotes, ferrel cats, bobcats, etc. I am gonna custom load with different....faster burning powders, and bullet weights, it will take me alot of dabbling to get it right where i want.
