My custom .223 Bolt Gun

[@rippertrain]

I built a 223 bolt gun. It currently is my most accurate rifle I own. With handloads I put 5 shots inside a dime at 100 yards. I love me some 223

[@TxKiller]

Thats awesome

[@MrRebar15]

*a.amantine* Sweet setup, it does have that thump when you connect. Thank-you sir for taking the time to show us. GOD Bless.

[@TxKiller]

Thanks for watching it

[@LightsOutPredatorRemoval]

I love the thought of 223. I have a Christensen ca15-g2 full carbon. But even with perfect shot placement on a coyote with 53g vmax seems like they still like to run off sometimes. I’ve recently switched back To my 6.5 creedmore in a mdt xrs chassis. No more runners. Love your videos man! Thanks for all you do!

My action should be here in a few days, I am hoping to get impact to make me a bolt face for a valkyrie build next

[@joshuathrasher2056]

I’d look into the different barrel rifling types if your not already familiar. (button rifled, cold hammer forged, cut rifled).The reason a Christensen barrel would not be my first choice is because they button rifle their barrels. I’ve seen a lot of button rifled barrels that shoot awesome but there is a higher possibility for inconsistency in a button rifled barrel vs. a cut rifled barrel.

[@samdavidson6483]

Nice rifle.

[@MichaelDFarrellJr]

There are a lot of hard feelings floating around the interwebs about Christensen. Seems like a lot of lemons come out of their shop if you read enough forums. I invested in their MPR platform in 300PRC - it could barely hold 3 MOA with any ammo it was fed. Christensen replaced barrel and just got it back. On the other hand I have a gas gun from them that holds .75-1" with quality ammunition. I don't think there are any more Christensen products in my future.

[@danielchambers1958]

Good video and rifle……. I have a Ruger American bolt gun with the AGM Rattler TS35-384 thermal….. Saker can on the barrel 👍👌😁 I suggest everyone own a bolt gun😁😁😁

[@Bunkerking2003]

My buddy who is a gunsmith for Alamo percision rifles says the Christian arms barrels simply don't last. He never said anything bad about the performance. They just aren't lasting as long as they should. Says he gets ton of them in to get re rifled and so forth. I went with proof research. Love this build BTW its sexy

[@mazdacx7650]

How can I figure out what chassis will work for me?

[@JakeLauren]

First find the chassis you want then all you need to know is if you have a short action or long action, typically when choosing a chassis it will ask what manufacturer you have and what action and what caliber, after that it’s easy man, if you aren’t very experienced in doing a install then look on KZbin or go ask your local gunsmith, usually any gun store and do a simple install like that but I promise it’s very easy to do.

[@garrettlovelace163]

Is the CA barrel a shouldered prefit for the Impact action, or is a gunsmith still needed to set proper headspace.

[@TxKiller]

Proper head spacing needed.

Great stuff mr Amantine. Shoot, I hunt with my Ruger American ranch 16” with a YHM turbo T2 and it’s very accurate with Winchester XP hollow points and LIGHTWEIGHT 😂

[@lonniehall9006]

I know u get a lot of comments about calibers to use, but I’m all in for the 243, because you can shoot from 55, to 100 grain bullets, so why choose any other?? Just asking. Kentucky

[@cereal8891]

should try out the subsonic 223 round its more quiet then a 22lr but has the 223 power and they get confused to whats hapning

[@kirkmartin2223]

Why spend the extra time and money to shoot subsonic .223rem when you can shoot 22lr subs for a 10th of the price and have a bullet that will actually work at those subsonic velocities. Caliber is the same... Bullet weight is close to the same on the 223rem subs I've seen. Velocity is the same... Energy on target is going to be close to the same. That's like shooting subsonic 308win vs 300blk. 190gr .308" bullets moving 1050fps is the same weather you shoot it from a 300blk or 308win or 300rum. .223rem subsonic is possibly the worst "cartridge" ever designed. Finding the right power to get enough case fill in a subsonic 223rem to not have squib loads is a big challenge.

[@DinoNucci]

No.

[@investigativeoutcomes9343]

also no

[@TheChocolateRedneck]

Man you got the best builds but the heaviest Ive seem you go is 308 or 6.5 creed why dont you experiment some builds with magnum cartridges ? I know you would make a stellar long ELR setup

I’ve thought about it but the magnum cartridges would be overkill for the ranges I hunt, plus I’m faster with the SA’s

Do you run the rear eyepiece on your bolt scope. I’ve been running one and not sure I like it much especially here in Ohio in the winter tends to fog up more.

Christensen has had a lot of quality control issues and in their carbon barrels there seemed to be a trend of the carbon barrels being inconsistent with many people. Me being one of them had the MPR in 300wm and was the worst rifle i have ever owned. I know people that own them in a few calibers and they haven't had issues but for me and others that spent a lot of money on something that wouldn't out shoot an ak47 it left a bad taste and i will not be giving them any of my business when theres many reputable offerings available
