Never saw a M40 in .223. Where did you get it?

Nice rifle. What make is it? Was it a 40X Remington in .223? What ammo are you using? What range are you shooting?

This is my "Toy" in .223. It is a Savage M11 with a Nikon 3-9X40 on it. The target was fired at 100 yards. Ammo was over the counter Hornady Varmint,

Remington 700 with a Bartlein 1/7.7 barrel.

Receiver is a 5 digit originally in .308. I found an old period small face bolt to convert it to .223

Ammo is a load I developed for my AR carbine...77 SMK, 22.9 8208XBR, WSRP, WCC 08 1X brass.

Range is 100 yards.

Think a little more powder in the 23 grain range will wake this gun up.

Remington repro M-40

The CO of the USMCR sniper school at Camp Bullis, Texas, COL. W. C. Dickman, was a WW-2 enlisted pilot/FO sometime sniper back then. In the '67-71 period I made friends with him and many other marine shooters as a college Army ROTC boy, and I was invited to shoot with the 4th recon Bn snipers, do land navigation, great times. He later bought 3 of the Remington repro guns and put Burris 3-9s on them and a brass plate somewhat memorializing himself as CO of the USMCR sniper school. I bought one of his self made commemoratives. Later on he sent me his origjnal SRB. The gun is likely not worth nearly what I paid for it but it's certainly a token of some happy times 50 years ago when I was young. I guess it ought to have a "correct" scope but....

Lets see some pictures of this rifle. Sounds interesting.
