OK, I'm gonna try you guys...Sako has on their website a choice of Bavarians in .223 with a 1 in 8 twist. Nice pics, new postings of their line-ups.

Now the burning question is do you guys know anybody-dealer- that might have one?

I need one bad and can find zero evidence that any have ever been imported into this country.

Who knows where I can find one?

I can’t answer your question, but I have an Sako 85 Varmint chambered in 223 with an 8 twist. The major limiting factor on the XS action is mag length.

Toward your question, call Euro Optic.

Just emailed them. Thanks!


Also not worried about standard mag constraints as I'll not be shooting anything over 62 grains....

Shrapnel lives up there in Montucky also, He claims to know everything. see if you can message him

FWIW,

All the Bavarians, to my knowledge have the single set trigger.

Not all the Sako Varmints have the set trigger IIRC.

don't know if that matters!

ya!


GWB

Nope Geedub...single set is fine....

You know I love me some Bavarians!

Think this should be your next purchase.

Thats no help Ken...

I know,I'm bored.

I've got one of those in 8 twist still in the box. I can't tell you how good the wood is because the tape has never been broken. Thing is I'm in the middle of a messy divorce right now and liquidating what I can. Rather than see the wife take half I'd sell it quick for $800 if you're interested. Win win the way I see it. The only downside of my rifle is it doesn't exist, none of that is true and good luck with your search. 85's are excellent.

Toying with the pooba's emotions can be dangerous.............

Just say'n

Ya smoke a turd in hell for that schidt

Yeah probably right!!
