223 winchester highwall
« on: September 20, 2011, 04:55:31 PM »
     Yeh!!!  I put a 223 highwall in my safe yesterday.  Took the trip to the range tonight and punched paper for about 1/2 hour. She's all sighted in for 55gr hornady vmax using the new IMR 8208 XBR now I just need to find a few vermin to try it out on. I mounted a weaver k-6 scope with leupold mounts on the 28" octagon barrel. I stumbled into this purchase, been looking for a used highwall for quite awile. They discontinued this model in 2006, but this one doesn't have a scratch or ding on it, must have been a collector that had it, I'm sure I'll put some caracter to it before I part with it in my old age.

Am looking for a low wall in 223 for a re-barrel project to a .204 Ruger  heavy barrel for  a dedicated prairie dog gun.
I should add that I'm looking at the Browning 1885 and not the Winchester.
Yeah, I'm a rifle looney
