I am finishing building a 223 Varmint rifle on a Savage 110 action and a Douglas Barrel
As I had the rifle , but since 1981 I shot it enough to really make the groups grow
So now I just need to finish the new custom Osage Orange stock and I can work up a load
BUT I also would like to hunt ground hogs with my AR 15 , coyotes will also be hunted with the rifle
I am right now using 50 gr Nosler Ballistic tip bullets in the old Savage barrel and hope to keep using them as I bought a bunch of them 2 years back
I also hope to use them in the AR 15 Varmint rifle
As I plan on using a 50 or 55 gr bullet
I want a barrel with a twist rate for that weight bullet
I tried Berger Match bullets in my 1 - 7" twist barrel and that didn't work LOL
I have a 1 -10 twist 223 AR 15 barrel , but it is not a heavy barrel and it has been shot a lot ( still shoots decent though )
But I have no idea who made the barrel
I figure if I am building a new 223 AR 15 upper
I want to get a Good new barrel with a twist rate for 50 or 55 gr bullets
So anyone know of someone making a 20" heavy profile 223 barrel , 22" would also be fine
1 -12" or 1 - 10" twist
No gas block , as I plan on a adjustable gas block
A threaded muzzle , as my Migraine Doctor keeps pushing me to keep the noise down to reduce the Migraines
So I plan on paying the $200 for the Form 4
Blue or stainless , either is fine
But I would be willing to pay the extra for a OD Green or Flat Dark Earth coating
I feel it is better to buy a good barrel to start with
Thanks
John
