Pop quiz, for you fellow firearm enthusiasts.....

[NMCB 133]

So, as a few may have seen, I've shared me recent rifle purchase/pix & it's my very 1st ever owned/handled "bolt-action" rifle.
So, having bought this online, it sent to a local FFLer, I'll admit I didn't fine tooth comb over it, but did look it over.
However, I did miss looking under the bolt handle, only to discover lil later after the lovely 10 business day wait,
& after having picked it up & back home, did I discover "223" scribed under bolt handle
I do know 223 & 6.5 Creedmoor or any 6.5 cartridge isn't the same at all.

There's a slight bit of slop when operating the action, I'm not sure what's excessive, but once it's seated & locked in place...
not sloppy at all.

Btw, the barrel is indeed factory stamped 6.5 Creedmoor
Wtf, my fellow enthusiasts??

That location, underside of bolt handle, is typically reserved for hand engraving (electro-pencil) the last 3 digits of the serial number. Does the serial number on the receiver end in: "223"?
