I just asked you about the carbon fiber barrel and this rig is absolutely outstanding. You know better than anyone that you can't go wrong with .223 in price and availability.
That's a sharp looking rig. I agree a .223 is cheaper to use after I recently went out and spent $42 per box of 20 for my .243. When I got home I checked the price tag on the last 55gr .243 Winchester Supreme Ballistictip I bought a few years ago and it was $17.99 for 20 rounds.
I shoot 6.5 PRC and CM... a little .308 and will be getting in to 6CM and maybe 6ARC... but i still think my favorite round to shoot is 5.56 77 grain OTM's out of an 18" match barrel. Can nail the milk jug at 1,000 pretty easily and the recoil is obviously very nice.
Love that set up I’d like to do something similar as like a trainer/cheaper shooting option to 6.5CR. Would love for you to do some more range reviews like you used to do. Love the content bro. Keep it coming!!
@@TxKiller can’t wait man. Love how you’ve been talkin to people on the comments too. I know it’s a lot of time. But just know everyone loves talking to you!
I have a 220 Swift that has similar performance. The 40 gr load is truckin' along at over 4000 ft/sec and she's the loudest friggin bark ever. It's so much different than say, a .308. It so sharp and so in your ears. But for a varmint rifle she has no = on this earth. I would like to try your rig to see how much they are different/similar. Nice review
I absolutely love 223 thank you for sharing. Tell us a little something about that tripod that's holding that beautiful MDT chassis with that heavy dump truck rear.
I switched from an ACC to an ESS for one reason ; the mirage shield on the ESS looks like it's part of the chassis whereas the one for the ACC looks like an add-on. ESS is a bit shorter but I cut my new barrels down to 22" so it doesn't matter. Love those rubber dampeners and as far as those new springs on those thumb screws I installed thin lock washers and they appear to do the job well. ps: I bought sheets of glue-on rubber foam sheets on Amazon and cut out a formed piece to place over my cheek piece and it fits very nice and feels great.
They sell weight that can be added to better balance the rifle if your interested. Overall weight will jump, but will be better balanced with added weight!!
I'm waiting on a barrel for my own 223 bolt gun. Mine will have a heavy palma contour 7.7 twist and 26 inches. This one's for target work. My 223 hunting rig only has a 20 inch barrel and a much lighter contour.
Nice looking rig, I have a older MTD chassis on a custom built 223 with a Remington 700 action that was gone threw by Short Actions Customs. Unfortunately the optic ($19-K) just gave me sticker shock.😂😂😂 I'll have to stick with my Pulsar at this point. But i agree with you, There will always be a place in my heart for one of these custom built 223 bolt rifles, on a solid aftermarket classis rig.
I'm over 223. Have been since the 6.5 Grendel's 10+ years ago. I'm now using the 6 arc. I will say I own one in 223/556 because of the ammo I have on hand.
Hunting with the abnormal rounds is awesome, but using the "militia" clause in the 2A is hard to do with a handful of rare rounds... I want 6mm Arc as cheap and prolific as 5.56.
@investigativeoutcomes9343 which is why replacing barrels and / or uppers is extremely important for any long-term use. If these rounds are for a semiautomatic, it's not a great idea. 6mm arc is great for bolt action rifles (with replacing barrels) a need for these module features.
@@skydivingcomrade1648 we all would. The military asked for the 6 arc. It will get more attention and use as time goes on. It's just Government BS that has Sig Sauer making guns in a calibur that is costly and hard to make. When it dies the 6 arc will rise and become more mainstream as a military round.
@@TxKiller Ok just curious as i am currently looking to build a acc elite 6mm for night hunting. It is hard trying to figure out if its gonna work for my main thermal (halo xrf) lop.
I just spent 1.5K on the ACC Premier for a Tikka T3X Super Varmint in 6.5 PRC. This makes me wish i didn't. Plus.. the damn thing doesn't shoot very well, even in the chassis. You can't put lipstick on a pig came to life for me. Makes me want to abandon Tikka. Love my T3X Tac A1... but that damn super varmint is a massive let down.
I bet a lot of your accuracy issues started with the ammunition. Not many options and the good stuff is not cheap! I’ve always wanted to build off the action, sorry you had hell with it.
@@TxKiller I got about 1 MOA with Norma 143 grain Golden Target Match. The Hornady 147 ELD's were a different story. it was about 1.5" or worse. The Hornady hunting ammo i tried was the fasted and worse still. It appears that the Tikka (who's barrels are known for being slower than average) prefers the slower Norma ammo... kind defeating the purpose of having 6.5 PRC to begin with.
👍223= ammo availability+cost effective=FUN 😊
BINGO!
I thought my next build would be an AR10 but these 223 bolt guns have me second guessing my wants
It’s good to have at least one bud

So frustrating to see these prices, some calibers just don’t make sense to hunt with anymore 🥹
Man when I grow up I want to be just like you.
@@nightflight41 Lol
Love my CarbonSix on my 6.5 creed hands down the best barrel I own!
.223 ticks many boxes. Nice rig!

I agree with using common use ammo, specialty ammo is insanely priced now days. Excellent rig AA.
Thank you

It’s gonna be a little hammer
Great looking rifle

Beautiful build. Love the MDT Chassis. I put a Remington 700 5r, .308cal in a MDT chassis. Love it 👍🏾

Back up for my wilson 6.5 creed is a remington .223. Its a good back up option
Same thing for me with the blue man not a huge fan but that titanium blue is legit and I had to go with it also

Carbon six uses McGowan blanks. The barrel I'm waiting on for my .223 is a McGowan barrel.

Beautiful rifle
Thank you
Nice build 👍🏿
Nice rifle setup!
Badass rig
just built a 308 carbon barrel, aero action, acc elite chassis...1 inch moa at 100 with thermal...
Love your videos man keep it up!
That's one sexy setup.... What bullet do you prefer in 223 for predator hunting?
I’m slinging GH 62gr with Leigh high projectiles
Love your content brother
Another great video
Thanks again!
I really like the added features of the Elite!
Thank You Sir! It will be nice to see which 223 ammo you select. 👍🇺🇸
GH 62gr controlled chaos
@@TxKiller does controlled chaos fragment at lower than normal velocity, like are they better than vmax?
Those MDT chassis' are sick
You’re awesome man! I’d you ever want to come to SC Kansas to hunt coyotes let me know.
I am also not a fan of blue… but that color looks sexy!
223 is the correct answer
Great job my friend
"probably the last .223... Lol"
Don’t tell me how this goes, okay! 😂
Tk I’d love to see you hunt with some heavier 223 stuff. 69-77 grain. Or have you already and I missed it?
I have in the past with Hornady black 75gr, works great but nothing beats a solid copper projectile.
@@TxKiller if you decide to try again, i think youll be impressed with the 73 gr ELD. it works real good
What suppressor cover are you running in the video? Looks like a BPG but they don't offer that color combo. Your rifle looks sick btw.
Damn man. You put out the best gun porn out there. 👍
I’m trying 😊
Why bolt action over automatic, lock bolt, or blow back?
What gr bullet did you end up going with on this build?
In my Dj Khaled voice... Another one 👋👋👋
Have you had a chance to use the Nvision Halo XRF? Base mag is 3.5x at 640 and has LRF built in.
What barrel contour did you go with?
1” Bull
I appreciate 223 rifles...but I think better rounds for hunting with bolts are 308 and up. 223 for Coyotes and small, medium game is ok.
what would you suggest for the 3k range for a thermal?
When you do these show and tell vids can you please take a few shots for us? Thanks man!!
You can keep the 223s but i have a bad case of scope envy with most all your guns...
His optics are fucking crazy
Wait til you see the footage from the Hybrid50…….
you ever try a foundation stock?
… sighs… opens wallet 😢
Damn so beautiful. What is the best in you’re opinion?
What twist you went with big brother
You mentioned the 6mm build wasnt as comfortable at night compared to this build. What didnt you like about that one as much?
The chassis LOP was to long it’s now in a different chassis and I’m currently using it
@@TxKiller Ok just curious as i am currently looking to build a acc elite 6mm for night hunting. It is hard trying to figure out if its gonna work for my main thermal (halo xrf) lop.
Do you sell your rifles or do you mostly hold on to them forever?
You’ll build another when the instagram bois say you can’t kill hogs efficiently and the whole winter will be 223 footage
I won't stop til I have them gagging on kills 😂
What length barrel is this?
That rifle looks like it needs to be shot all day! Dang sexy!
You literally could with no fatigue
