223 Remington Shilen Rifle Build Success

223 Rem Rifle Build

Robin C. of South Carolina sent us some photos of her new 223 Remington build using a Shilen Rifles, Inc. barrel purchased from Northland Shooters Supply (NSS).


Here is what Robin purchased from NSS:

  • 26” Shilen Stainless Select Match barrel-Varmint contour-223 Rem. VLD chamber- 8 twist
  • NSS squared and trued barrel nut
  • Zermatt Arms/Bighorn Arms Origin action
  • Forster 223 Rem go and no go gauges
  • TriggerTech Primary black trigger-
  • KRG Bravo chassis

Here is what Robin had to say about her build:

“I wanted to share with you how impressed I was with my new 223 Remington build. The Bighorn action is a joy to work with. It’s silky smooth and I really like the mechanical ejector. Everything went together very well and the KRG bravo chassis fits me well and is extremely well-built. Accuracy out of the rifle so far has been phenomenal and I am still working on load development. Included is a picture of a good test target. Again, thank you for all your help and suggestions. It is greatly appreciated and it was great doing business with you.”
