.223AI Remy 700 build

Don't see the point of improving a 204, it alread has a sharp shoulder and minimal taper.

If you guys were going to have a rifle built from scratch on a Stiller action, who would you have put it together?

The .204 Ruger has a 30* shoulder and slight taper. If you improve it to 40*, you will increase case life, increase firings between trimmings, and potentially slightly improve throat life.

Very nice

A quick update... my barrel showed up at my gunsmith on Tuesday. I should have the barreled action back in my hands some time next week. Then I just have to paint it and bed it and then start working up some loads. I have a couple hundred new .223 cases from Lapua that I'll fireform.
