Opinions Welcome

I have the opportunity to purchase a new .223 bull barrel (mod. #SB2-323) with 3x9 scope for $269 through a local gun dealer.  My main purpose is for target (informal) and silhouette shooting.  Any constructive input would be greatly appreciated.  I have read the FAQ's and I have to say, "Wow! You folks have some great info at this site." Thanks.

 Sounds like a good price to me.  Take care!    Marv.

I say go for it. Heck if you dont like it just put it up for sale on the classified forum.

I dont know personally but it sounds like you should buy it. I was just wondering if you name came from the Air Force.... Good luck welcome with this group of people. I know nothing but there is an amazing amount of wisdom here so please enjoy as i do but my wife hates

Welcome to GBO !!!   Sounds good, the scope is probably not up to the potential of the rifle, but you might sell it & put that money toward a better scope.

I think the 223 is one of the better Handi's along with the 45-70.

To all:  Thanks for the input.  I have a Beretta Tomcat (.32 ACP) on consignment at the gun shop for $275.  Somebody put half down and is waiting for the feds to complete the paperwork.  When he (?) puts down the rest I'll have them order the SB2-323.
For Nightstalker:  Yes, the handle was from the USAF.  I was in from 1972-1996.  Does your name has some special meaning? Like the F117's?  I was in the FOT&E at PS 22 from 1986 to early 1988.  When the program went "gray" they sent me to PS 66.  I stayed there until June of 1989.

Aimhigh yes I too was in i did not retire as you but was in from 99-05 in the 7thBW as a B-1 crewchief....  my nickname came from my first assigned plane it was its name and tail #. Plus I thought it applied to some other things I was doign because where I was stationed you could varmint hunt at night so kinda fitting   ... now back in TN and you can only hunt coons at night   and I have yet to master any kind of day hunting for yotes or bobcats
