You have come to the right place. I know of 2 members that are running a 223AI and highly recommend it. I’m sure they will be along shortly.

Mine is a 26" Bartlein 1:7 twist on a Remington action. I built it for shooting 80 and 88 grain ELDs long range. I love shooting the rifle. There's almost no recoil and it's plenty accurate. I'm getting over 2900 fps with 88 grain bullets and over 3100 with 80 grain. 1000 yards is easy.

24" Bartlein, M24/M40, 1:8, stainless
Fire formed: 80 gr ELD-M @ 3085 fps MV

It is so fun to shoot, I've pretty much decided to let every customer I have, in the future, run a few through it. Almost every grown man I've seen shoot one, giggles on the first shot.

(It beat three 6.5 Creedmoors and one .308 Win not too long ago peep)
