H&R "Ultra Varmit" in .223....
« on: March 08, 2003, 03:57:38 AM »
Just ordered one of these, it has a 24" heavy barrel. Anyone have any hands on with one of these?  What kind of accuracy can I expect?

thanks
steve

It had the laminated stock and heavy barrel.
It shot fine, but I have two other 223's and one of them had to go!
I think you'll like it.  Mine shot under minute of angle with no load work done at all (sold it too quickly).
FYI, a 243 I bought for a couple teenagers I take hunting has been "no so good".   Failure to extract, erratic accuracy.  But the 223 was fine.

Steve357: I own a .223 H&R Ultra 24". With hand loads and good bench technique, it will shoot 1/2 moa grps. I'm well please with the rifle, but don't think it'll be as good as the standard for a varmit rig as it's pretty heavy to carry. Good Shooting   :D  Duce:
