This rifle started life as a model 12FV from Cabela's chambered in .204 Ruger.

* Bison Gun Works .223 AI barrel, 1:7" twist, threaded 5/8"-24 w/ 3 chamber brake
* Digital Camo Stock
* Accurate Mag DBM
* (3) Ruger .223 AICS Magazines, feed-lips modified (I don't know how they feed with the original geometry, even in standard .223)
* 20 MOA Weaver Rail
* Picatinny Bipod Rail

Includes almost 200 fire-formed brass, a pile of 80 grain Nosler bullets, and Lee 3-die set. Happy to share my load data as well - I believe I was getting around 2950 FPS with the 80 grain bullets but I haven't shot this in a long time. 500 yards is plinking, 1,000 is pushing it (wind calls get very challenging). This was a very fun rifle and affordable to shoot (around 25 cents per trigger pull) due to bullet cost and low powder charges. This can also be loaded with 55 grain bullets and a small charge of Titegroup for a small game rifle with just a little more power than a .22 Magnum at around 12-13 cents a shot. Great way to do an initial fireform on once-fired brass as well.

Transfer fees paid by buyer.

Yeah, it was a fun one to put together and a favorite to shoot. I'm hoping someone else will enjoy it as much as I did.

Definitely a fun rifle and a way under-rated cartridge.

Perfect rifle and cartridge for Prairie Dogs too. Do you still have the factory 204 barrel?

 

[helix6sk]

Sold the .204 barrel on Ebay when I started the build. UPS actually lost it and my customer got an empty tube. That was a fun one to deal with.

Who makes the stock?

Who makes the stock?

Stock is from a 10 Predator modified with Accurate Mag bottom metal for AI mags rather than the Savage factory type.

Are you in Springfield? or Lapine?

Both here and there. Central Oregon for the next week, and then back in Springfield.

I really need to stop coming back to this.

Would a Boyd's stock fit this or would it need to be modified?

Depends on which one you are looking at, but I'm sure it could work. You might need to modify the magazine area a little bit.

Do you still have this? If so how long is the barrel?

I believe it's 20". I do still have it.

If you still have this and would be willing to do the transfer in Central Oregon shoot me a text I have some questions.
