Rifles chambered for .223remington use a different throat configuration than the .223 wylde and 5.56. .223 can be safely fired from any rifle designed for 5.56.
The .223 has a shorter leade than

Beltbuckle: Thanks for your responses. Kind of thought this is where I'd end up with this thing. One last thing please, I was under the impression that 5.56 and .223 were essentially interchangible.

Your AR is more than capable of that but I understand the bolt idea. With the available cash you have to put into a rifle I think your just as well off selling your rifle and buying a new one that already

Beltbuckle: I have about $600 in the rifle. I already have a decked out armalite AR-15 with a variety of sight/scope options. I'm more interested in a gun that has the potential to reach out

That depends, whats your plan? Are you after an accurrized bolt rifle or is a semi auto adaquate?
Whats your budget as this will be the most important consideration. Smithy's aren't cheap,

Beltbuckle: Your assessment matches what I've read about the rifle. I'm not interested in having a so-so rifle. I'm planning on 1 of 2 options. Sell the rifle and buy a better one or salvage

It looks; well interesting to say the least. The only major drawback I see is that it is only a 1:9 twist barrel and is likely not suited to fire 5.56.
Your going to be restricted to shooting

Looking for Advice: Remington VTR .223
A couple years ago I bought the Rem vtr with the triangular barrel. Never been fired. The reviews online have not been particularly kind. I'm wondering what to do with the rifle. Anyone have any experience with this rifle? Is it worth keeping?

I have a Rem 770 in .300 Win Mag. It is a bit of over-kill for anything in N. America. I opted for the 770 as I will only be using it a few times per year. With a good scope 4x16x44 I can keep a 1"

I recently purchased 2 Remington 700s SPS Tactical with the bull barrel. One is .223 and the other one is .308 Winchester. Both have Nikon scopes. Very pleased with their performance.

I have a 700 BDL Factory Custom that is now 35 years old and it will hit anything I point it at. I use a 6x18 Redfield scope and usually set it aroug 14 power and never need a spotting scope for targets

It's still a quality rifle, have no worries there! The tolerances, fit and finish are just not as "nice" as on the 700. It might rattle a bit or not be quite as accurate as the same

The 770 is essentially the cheapened version of the 700. I cant really explain the differences but if you hold both and compare you'll see and feel the differences.

I have a model 700 ADL Synthetic in 30-06. I lightened the trigger to about 4lbs and added a muzzle brake and a Limbsaver Barrel Deresonator. I have it topped with a Leupold VX-II 3-9x50 in Leupold
