Good to hear and kudos to your girl. I started my daughter on 243 Win too, with a new barrel for my Blaser R8. It was a little big for her and if the Stoke had been around then, that would have been my choice too, but in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Thanks for the comment. Yes a 16.5" 223 is cute, but, always give me a bit more tube, it just bmakes more sense. I'll see if I can borrow an Extreme Sierra in 223.

@@PCMGuns thank you for your videos! I’d love to see that! I understand that a 20-22 inch would make more sense for most (like the sauer keeper,…)Out where we are it does not matter that much, safe shots only possible within 120 yards and it’s all small fields mixed with dense forest, max visibility in the forest is 40-50 yards, flat, flat ground. thanks again!

@@achiles13 No problem. Ah the Sauer Keeper, now there's a sweet rifle.

Agree! Video about the extreme Sierra 233 would be awesome!

Hi, would you recommend the blackout in this gun?

My data says 6 for the 223, yes it does take 7 as I said Yes, from what I hear a lot of people are buying Stokes and binning the stock and replacing it with something more normal I did not say it was not large deer legal, I said a 20" barrel is not the best length, as from personal experience with the Creedmoor, the 6.5 Swede and the 243 Win, none of them give their best in short tubes. The only way to determine if it produces the required 1700 ft/lbs + is to chronograph the load you are using and I bet a lot of people don't bother and just go with what it says on the ammo box or reloading data. Which in all cases with a 20" will be lower. So it's just a matter of be aware of what your gun is actually producing. Yes, I know the Creedmoor kills well, but that's not the point, in England and Wales the law requires a minimum muzzle energy of 1700 ft/lbs, for Roe and larger species. So if your rifle is not making 1700 then you are breaking the law, stupid I would agree, but that's the way it is.
