As it sits, I have very little $$ in this rifle, very littel.
Most of the actions in this thread cost more than I have in this entire rifle.
Though it is probably not "tactical" enough for this thread.  

Stock and action were bought as a complete 6.5x300Wby bench rifle.
It was not the factory single shot FN action I had hoped, so I sold the barrel and bolt on eBay, got my money back.
Action is interesting (to me) and heavily modified below the wood line with accuracy in mind.

Bolt is a factory FN .222 bolt which is stupid rare. Picked it up for lowball bid at an online auction.
They didn't show the bolt face and I didn't know what it was until is showed up.

Barrel is unknown maker from a large (100+) barrel lot purchased at a dead gunsmith auction. (If it shoots, I have its twin.)

Suppressor is an off brand from an out of business manufacturer. Low ball bid at their bankruptcy auction.

Japanese Tasco 8x-32x w/ 1/8th minute dot.  
These scopes are amazing values & sleepers. When the Japanese made versions show up, I snag them. I had to take this one out of its original box.....

Machine work and barrel were part of a trade with a local gunsmith. For a complete commercial Mauser action he barreled four actions including this one.

Nice.

I saw a GB auction for a 98 action with custom 223 bolt for $400 something.

I passed.

You don't actually need the small bolt face.
I have another .222 Rem on an FN single shot.....with a magnum bolt face.  
You do need the correct extractor.  With the magnum bolt face, as you extract the case just drops on the action floor for easy removal.

Yeah, I figured all I needed to do was fit a longer extractor, that’s why I passed.

As much as I love 98’s I don’t need a 223 single shot.

Testing out a few Impact 4000s now, more accurate and repeatable in adverse conditions than the Leupold/Vortex units we're comparing to.  So far, very impressed.

Nice!

No adverse conditions here but ranged targets as far as 3832y pretty easily today.  Awesome unit.  Lot of room for improvement but it’s a great start.

Found a Browning A-Bolt in .223 for sale locally.  This thing must have spent most of its life in a closet not being used.  NV817 serial number so it's a 1995 manufacture Hunter model made in Japan.  Added an EGW 20MOA rail, 200mm ARCA rail, got the trigger down to 14 ounces from the factory 3.5 pounds with an MCarbo trigger spring, and added a cheek piece.  Heading out tomorrow to sight it in and see what ammo it likes.  For almost 29 years old, she's a pretty little thing.

as was said above it could be your low post count

imgur is a little odd also , instead of copying the actual url you need to right click on the picture and copy the "link to image" option from the list

then use that "link to image" that you copied with the link button here when your posting (next to the image button)
