Nice rifles but Im just not a sako fan and the twist rate is going to be an issue , and Iv got a bsa hunter in 222 already.

Levers are fun but they give up a little to much in accuracy for what Im thinking, I inherited my Mums little miroku . ML 22. Thankfully. Always enjoy it.

I might have to talk to @camo wsm about a custom .

Voere LBW Standard — SR Marston & Co

Maybe?

I rang Marston . Nothing in small cartridges, nothing coming and no idea of twist so looks like voere is a no go.

As you mentioned, S&L Legacy would be something less mainstream. Only ever seen one come up on the yellow site, probably have to import. @Southcity could be of assistance maybe.

Shultz and Larsen are imported by CR Pain into NZ. He has several resellers. I believe Reloaders stock them and also Bill Perry. They are all steel, beautifully machined and supremely accurate.

Iv done a little load work for a s&L victory, very nice it is. I could also quite easily be talked into another cooper

Hmmm yes I have a Victory, DL and Legacy. May as well have the family��. The Victory is just that little bit more refined. Superior walnut stock, more polishing and high gloss bluing. If it’s a work horse wanted then the DL is hard to beat. Nice simple switch barrel as well. Their rings are intriguing. The receiver is machined so the base and ring can sit in two positions. One slightly forward of the other. If you are in cold conditions and wearing heavy clothing the rings can be adjusted to suit. Then in the summer when it’s light clothing they can be readjusted. Superb barrels. Cut rifling. Not many doing this now. Very little copper fouling with them as well. I have Sauers , Coopers etc and apart from my Sauer 90 the S&L’s as as slick as I have.

Looks like the legacy is available in 1-8 twist so its a contender.

that parker hale 222 on here

I’d be buying it direct from cr pain

I have an older Tikka M595.
Sweet ride. A little on the heavy side but metal mags but satisfies every time.
Now am I talking about my 223 or a woman :p

Nothing wrong with a nice 223 in Remington Mod 7, light and handy as a walkabout rifle and accurate enough.

northdude you beat me to it.....now that is a very classy classic ,its something different that will hold its value and will do whatever you need for years to come.
