I bought a 11VT .223 Black Friday for just under $500.00. Took her home and stripped her down and gave her a good cleaning. Fit and finish are quite good. She is a tad heavy but my 6'2" 230LB frame can handle her. I will be using the gun for target shooting. I took the Bushnell Sportsman off and added some Leupold Rings and a Mueller 8.5-25x50 Erraticator scope.

I plan to reload my own after purchasing dies but will be taking her through some paces at the range to start out with some Federal 69gr Sierra MatchKing BTHP hopefully next week. Based on my reading here and several other forums I have high expectations.

any advice or comments are gladly accepted.

Thanks for looking
