barrel. Load same bullet to NATO spec 5.56 pressures, and it will be 3000+ fps in 16". just goes to show how IGNORANT most people are about 223 and "short" barrels.

It's got MORE range than any lever action has, any AK or sks has, any 30 Carbine has, by a LOT, in fact,and 20+million guys in US THINK THOSE guns are worth a crap. In fact, a MATCH 11" CAR, scoped has CONSIDERABLY more effective range than all but the very best milsurp bolt actions have, using their typical ball ammo and iron sights. That's ANOTHER 10 million guys who THINK that they have a "long range" rifle. Then there's the 10million or so guys who DO have scoped commercial bolt actions, but don't have a CLUE how to make them hit anything, at ANY longer ranges than the Match 11" CAR can. Specifically, such a gun has no trouble at all hitting 10" gongs at 300m, staying on 12"x24" torsos at 400 yds, etc, MANY a scoped M700 owner can't do anything of the kind, without his sandbagged bench rest.

typical 11" CAR will group 5" at 200m, with match ammo, scope, trigger job. you'd be THRILLED to have an 8" barreled revolver that grouped 5" at 100m, much less YOU have such ability WITH it.
