Why oh why did I do it???? I stuck my head in Dick's sporting goods. telling myself all the while that I was just looked for plastic ammo cases.  Yeah, right!  Just had to look over the fire arms.  What do my eyes preceive but a Remy 700 SPS combo package, synth green w/ wide forestock, 3-90X40mm scope on sale for $499 regular price 599.  Flat blued metal heavy barrel.  Very close to what I want in 223.  I want a thumbhole lamy stock with the rest of what this one has!  But $499, $499, $499 with the scope.  Luckily there was no-one at the counter or I would have at least asked the caliber.  This is going to BUG me for a while cause I know my tax refund is due in 2-3weeks and with the tuition credits I got, I am getting back more than I expected.  ARGH!  Bad Bud!  Stop It!

I needed another rifle like I need another ex-wife.  But the 'ar-15' style guns are mighty hard to find in my neck of the woods, so I went for it.

if you don't like it and struggle with buyer's remorse - you can always sell it and move on to another project... I am at that point on a couple myself..

I am set up for the first 2 guns, 270 & 308.  This one's gonna be a 223, which means...more Dies and bullets at least.  What powders are usually used in 223s?  Primers still LRs?
