[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3195442, member: 33119"] If your heart is set for a 223 you have tied your hands if you ever wanted to run something different in a pre-fit barrel. Stepping up to a 0.472" bolt face allows you numerous options in a switch barrel application. Barrel nuts and pre-fit barrels are a nice addition for todays shooter and many manufacturers allow this now. You'll spend as much for a match grade pre-fit barrel as you would for a quality rifle but that's basically what you end up with. In 30 minutes you could change out from your 308 deer rifle to a 22-250 varmint killer or a PRS 6mm CM competition platform. Long rifles Inc, [URL]https://www.longriflesinc.com/collections/frontpage[/URL] is a go to for pre-fit RPR barrels The RPR in 223 with its 1:7 barrel will allow you to shoot just about any bullet and depending on how good a shooter you are an effective range of 800 yards, possibly further depending on atmospheric conditions and shooter ability. As I said before I would run with the Tikka Tac A1 and purchase pre-fits later on. Personally I like their chassis better than the RPR. Tikka bolts run very smooth and with a $12 Yodave trigger spring you can safely bring the pull weight down to a little over a pound and it breaks very nicely. Accuracy is very good with store bought ammo with the OEM barrel. Naturally hand loads only make it better. [/QUOTE]
