I recently purchased a Stevens 223 rem with intentions of a build
The rifle shoots very well with 55gr Sierra Gameking and Hornady 55 gr Vmax bullets, Varget powder
1/2" to 5/8" at 100yds
Have not shot it any further distance at this point, but I have decided to leave the rifle as is for a light, inexpensive gun
This is the second Stevens I have purchased, the first was a 7mm08 , it was hard to remove the barrel and replace with a Shilen because it shot so well but it was my first build and I am glad I did
Good luck with you new rifle
Jack
