Can this safely fire .223 like the 8500 model?
Yrs sir, this is an upgraded model over the 8500, it features a free floated barrel (which will improve accuracy) optics ready (low pro gas block, and railed/mocked handguard) B5 systems furniture (instead of milspec) a Ruger Elite 452 2 stage trigger, and Ruger muzzle brake. And yes this will shoot all 223 and 556 i have had 0 failures with mine (i have the 18" barrel, but still very similar rifle)
David, yes Sir it ca. Any rifle with a 5.56 NATO stamped barrel will shoot .223 no issue. Just not the reverse. Cheers and be safe!

David, yes it can. Any 5.56 rifle can also shoot .223, but not the other way around.
