For sale, lightly used and in very good condition. Very well made floor plate for Remington and clone short actions. You’ll need a spring and follower as this is the floor plate only. Matt stainless with a sako style release button outside the trigger bow. Never a risk of a forgotten mag and nothing to snag when in the thick of undergrowth or accessing high seats. Replaced rifle with one of Callum’s, which of course came already fitted with one 😁 £200 posted to UK address.

Sorry - sold

Vermin bullets are typically frangible, lead shatters/ vapourises through the carcass. Hit a bunny at 4000fps and ‘picking up’ might be a challenge. It’s not that a raptor feeds off a carcass that is lead contaminated and drops dead, the lead accumulates and they lose condition, die a slow death. As a kid, seeing a buzzard was a rare sight. Thankfully that’s not the case now, all raptors are making a comeback - the red kite being a great, common sight locally.

Thanks for taking the time and appreciate the insights. More to mull over! I don’t like putting lead into vermin to then let it accumulate in raptors etc. that’s the reason for copper rather than lead.

Hi - is this still for sale? What’s the twist rate of the barrel?

So after complete changeover of the cabinet, I’m thinking 53gr yew tree TLR is the bullet, pushed fast 3750 plus. 220 swift in 7 or 8 twist. Barrel might need a bit more length, but that’s kinda where I’m thinking.

Is the 224 Valkyrie a contender???

Thanks for the detailed thoughts @Scotch_egg - hope it’s a bit of a distraction to keep the boredom at bay! Heal up and get back at it soon. 22-284! I can imagine that will have a shortish barrel life. I’ve a 6.5-284 inbound and was thinking that would be hard enough on the barrel. Mulling over your views, I think the cost side of things is certainly going to be one factor. Might even be worth having clone setup to another more expensive chambering I’ve got for cheaper practice! A quick google and thinking shortening a 22-250 might be a bit boomy. Shorter barrelled treble or 223 might be the option then. Would likely give me options for copper in future too. Narrowing it down a bit, at least to start window shopping and depending on what’s about, maybe talking to someone for a build. 👍👍👍

Flat shooting?

Barrel life probably not that important to me to be honest but it would probably bug me if I had to change at 1200. 2-3000 would be fine. Would be more bothered about it being accurate and delivering a decent punch within 400m

For vermin. Mulling over choices of 204 Ruger, 220 Swift, 20Tac, 22Creed, 223, 222, 22-250…….. If it’s a short (18 inch) and pointy thing. Unfussed about heavyish barrel contour. And a nice to have, but not essential would be 50gr bullet weight capable. 400m max but accurate enough for crows, fox etc (appreciate all will suffer drift) Ideally in a rem700 short action footprint. Whats the wisdom on chambering and barrel twist?
