Thinking about another Rifle, Comments Welcome

[lightman]

I just looked at a used Remington 700 in 300 AAC. I don't remember the letters that are in the name! Its has a blue finish, has a Hogue stock, a short fat barrel, and has a thread protector. I know that it is a pretty limited caliber, unless you are shooting suppressed, which I plan to do. I'm thinking that it would be fun to shoot hogs with, at night.

The Drawbacks- Limited range and ballistics, everyone seems to be out of brass, most everyone is out of dies.

The positives- Well, its homeless! It has a 223 bolt face and could become something else easy enough if the AAC fails me.

Your thoughts, experiences, and opinions are welcome. Thanks, Lightman

I wouldn't worry too much about the brass.A lot of guys are trimming .223 brass down by using a little chop saw that they sell at Harbor Freight Tools for $30. Some have even made jigs out of JB weld or other mold-able materials so they don't have to do any measuring.
