,
Thanks for sharing the information about Calhouns. The web site is not fancy, but there is a lot of good information there. I added it to my favorites and sent my boy a link as well. Looks like he has some good services and products, re-barreling, ballistics charts, downloadable targets, etc. The 19 caliber bullet is neater than a new suit. Never heard of it till now.
We both checked out the Remington site yesterday for info on the 204's. I don't know how we missed it, but I am going back there in a bit.
Did not have the foggiest idea that the 223 could be downloaded to the 22 mag nor uploaded to the 22-250. That really eliminates some agonizing and seals the deal on the 223 decision. The original option for me was the 204, 223, and the Hornet. My boy wanted the 22-250. Heh heh, he is going to be surprised today. :-)
For some reason, the model 7 223's are hard to find right now. Wallyworld is sold out and my local dealers can't get them as well. Dicks, MC Sports, and Sports Authority are not even displaying guns on their websites for some reason, and SA even said they would not take special orders right now. Ozark Guns is advertising them, but I am sure they just drop ship, so that is doubtful also. I am no where close to a Green Mountain store. Think I will try to get one ordered this morning from somebody. Do you think Remington might be discontinuing the 7 LS in the 223?
Man, you've been a big help and I appreicate it.
