I've been looking for a stainless Varmint in .223 for quite awhile and I finally found one. The seller said he hadn't fired it and the guy he bought it from claimed that it was only proof fired at the factory. Sure, whatever, the price was right.
The seller looks to be correct! I picker her up yesterday and either someone went to a lot of trouble to clean her up or she's NOS (new old stock).
Bolt face looks untouched.
I installed a Limbsaver pad, only because all of my Tikkas wear them, and a Yo Dave trigger spring to lighten the pull. Warne rings and a Leupold FX3 12x40mm AO Target scope and I'm ready for load development. She's a 1-8" so I hope my current 75 grain ELDM load (Carlos) shoots as well as it does in my blued T3x Varmint.
Merry Christmas to me!
