Got my variation through today with a slot on it for a .223 which I'm going to use with NV for foxing. Already got a couple of SAKO 85 in other calibres which I'm very happy with so planning to get another 85 but in .223. Unfortunately SAKO don't appear to do the the .223 in the synthetic / stainless so will probably go for the laminate / stainless.
This is offered in two twist rates either the 1 in 8 or 1 in 12. As its mainly for foxing I will probably be using a fairly light round, ie 40 to 50 grain, just wondered if anyone had any experience of this and which twist rate they would go for.
With regards to the NV, it will either be a the new pulsar 970 (already have a 870 on a .22 for rabbits which I like because of the range finder) or a Drone pro, advice willingly taken.
