1:8 is correct.

1:8

use heavier bullets.

I am not familure with that tearm moonpie, does that mean more grains?

[bountyhunter]

Moonie means you want to shoot a heavier bullet than the standard 55gn 223 loads. 62 or 64gn should be good in that twist barrel.

Well, I went to meet with the guy for the trade wher emy boat was and went through with the trade. Being my first rifle, I was expecting a strong recoil. Since my boat mechanic is out in bfe on acreage, we set up a table and some targets 50 yards away(Tree stump 10 inches in diameter) I placed the stump on top of an sol cooler. Scope wise it was off by about 2 inches so we moved the targets to about 75 yards.

I was able to hit the bar code area of the plastic quart container most of the 30 rds I shot off. My 2 year old was in her car seat asleep behind me in my truck running with ac. She woke up near the end. I was using some cheap ammo i bought at wally world for 55gr 20 rds 8 bux. I endd u buying 10 boxes more afterwords. I am going to order from cheaper than dirt some of these rounds. Just have a question about a round. Let me know what you think.
The cost $4.49 a box of 20

Ammo .223 Brown Bear, HP, 62 Grain, 20 Round Box Russian, Velocity 3050 fps, Berdan Primed

Over all I think that I took a loss but, now I have my first rifle. I feel a hell of a lot better that when i got the boat to begin with.

Lets put it like this, if it comes down to you needing some money fast, you'll be able to sale that rifle a whole lot faster than you have been able to sale that boat.....

Congrats, they are some fine shooting weapons. If you do get a chance to deer hunt with it, don't use those Brown Bear hollow points. Get you some softnose ammo for it to get the job done on a deer. For pigs and coyotes.........have at them with those hollow points!!!

These rifles aren't worth as much today as they were the last couple of years. If you get the scope, the bi-pod , the magazines and some kind of plastic case to keep the rifle in while traveling, I would seriously think about the trade. Ask the guy to throw in 100 rounds of ammo too.
