Off The Shelf High Twist Rate .223

[timbeech]

I'm looking at filling my .223 slot on my FAC.

I've always been pretty sure of getting a Remmy 700 SPS Tactical due to the 1 in 9 20" barrel and I love my other Remmy 700.

Are there any other off the shelf factory rifles that come with a high twist rate barrel that I could also look at?

From a quick glance at their websites, it appears that Sako and Tikka both supply 1 in 8 twist rates.

A mate at work has a Savage .223 it's extremely accurate, some tend to swerve Savage .... not sure why after seeing his shoot.

Savage do a 9 and a 7 in1 in .223

Savages are very accurate rifles.~Muir

Savage are accurate and you get longer barrels.
Rem 1:9 20" shoots just fine, if you can live with the rest of the rifle.

Sako and Tikka are good bets, most likely on special order for the 1:8.
Mine is now a 75 1:8 22 3/4" and was previously the Rem 700.
