.223 A.I. trainer, switch stock. - 04/12/18 06:16 PM
Being left handed I have to wait 6 months on a stock order, so my gunsmith and I came up with the plan to have a switch stock, instead of switch barrel. Removing scope, barreled action, swapping barreled action and scope for .223 A.I. took 4 minutes 30 seconds.
6.5 Creedmoor 1:8.5" barreled action. Tikka T-3, Bartlein M24/M40 contour, 24" finish. Manners T-4, CDI bottom metal. Nightforce ATACR F-1, 5-25X, Mil-C

Tikka T-3 .223 action (same action size, different bolt) Bartlein .223 A.I. 1:7.7", M24/M40 contour, 24" finish.

Virgin Lapua .223
CCI 450
IMR-8208
Hornady 80 gr ELD-M
This photo is rotated 90° counter clock-wise 200 yards, 20 mph 1 o'clock wind, .45" vertical.
Yesterday, in all that wind, I ran it out to 800 yards, only on the 1 MOA targets. Then put the rifle to work for what it was built for, the supported various height barricades. Recoil is next to nothing, and it is extremely fun to shoot! This fire forming load has an 80 gr ELD-M making 2800 fps MV.
