I have two rifles in 223, with 1:12 twist and they are sub 1/2 moa guns with factory hornady 50 gr ammo. The 223 can make a great varmint gun. If Henry offers a long range, black op's 223, then; let hope they also do a proper 20 ruger for varmint hunters. The 1:9 maybe an ok compromise, given the reality of where 223 is at these days. But; 1:12 would be pleasant surprise. Big surprise, actually.
