Shorty/SBR Precision Rifle

That's ###y Jerry. I'd like to get something made in 223 that takes the mdt/aics magpul mags and has a 10-12" barrel. I like my rem 700 aac sd but sometimes I just want shorter. Dont shoot past 200m so don't need a long barrel.
 
Well, its official! Got my 223 rig ordered. Now to wait for the barrel...
Specs are:
Rem 700 action in 223
McGowan 12" heavy blued 1-8 twist barrel
Black mdt LSS
Black mdt CCS stock
I'll toss my trijicon reflex sight on it and a stubby vertical grip when I get it.
 
Just a heads up that Bergara is coming out with a shorty of their own in 223, 6.5 and 308. It'll probably be easier and faster to get than the Rem offering.

Hopefully they make that a production gun, as that might be the only way we get a Black Collar Arms chassis up into Canada. That rifle is "small batch" to start with, however, so high MSRP and limited availability.

Not a SBR rifle because the barrel is 20 inch but I'm tempted to put a 16 inch barrel on it, the rifle is a Savage Hog Hunter .308 with a MDT XRS chassis and a MDT 12 round metal magazine, I really like the MDT products.

Not very likely they are only making 200 of them.... too bad if the price was under 2K i'd be more interested.
 
I should have something to add to this thread soon,

What optic is everyone running? I was looking for a 1-8, 2-10, or a 3-9 maybe 4-12 power.

Trying to keep it under 1000. I love the looks of the 1-6, 1-8, strike eagle type optics. You have to drop a pretty penny though on them to get a decent one.

Any thoughts?

I put a Leupold VX3HD 4.5-14 on my Spectre. Nice glass without being overly heavy. I love the ZL dial, super quick and easy to use once you know your dope.
 
Optic is still in the mail, as well as the tacpro cheek riser.

3 round mags, kinda meh but no one makes after market mags for them. Might put it in a chassis if I can find one.

Undecided on if I want a muzzle device.

308 Winchester XPR Stealth... (one of the best single stage triggers on a rifle under 2000 Ive ever felt)
