Good idea or not?

[Slopok]

hey guys,

I really want an SPS TAC in .223. So much so that I am thinking about trying to trade my SPS Tac AACSD .308 stright across. Scopes not included because i have one for the .223 already. I would include the weaver rail, if one comes with the .223. The .308 only has 120 rounds down the barrel, I can prove it because i still have the brass.

Am I as Crazy as the voices in my head to even think about this?

Depends what you want to do with it. If it's just for plinking the .223 will save you some money, but with a short barrel and a slow twist you'd likely be at a disadvantage for many forms of LR competition.

No.
.223 will cost 1/2 of .308 to shoot. The SPS Tactical should have a 1:9 twist allowing you to shoot 70gr VLDs to 600 quite easily.

6.5 mm bullets have nice BC. If I were to go down in caliber from my .308 it would be something like a 6.5 creed more less kick more range and still has killing power for big game !

I want it for a little shooting at 300 and hitting yotes. I have no where to strech out the .308 and i'm in love with the tac's. I would rather stay in the .223 range. I have no idea what to ask for the .308. I know they are about the same cost as the .223 version which is why i'm thnking a stright trade across.

In that case it's absolutely a good idea. You can shoot for almost half price AND do it all day.
