Thread: looking to buy a .223, what is important and what is BS?

Twist is important.A fast twist will stabilise heavy projectiles but will destabilise light varmint rounds. If your varminting do you need to fire heavy projectiles? If your mainly using on the range get a heavy barrel.Remember a 22 cal hole is pretty small so regular should be fine. I was in the same boat a couple of years back and almost bought a heavy barrelled varmint but ended up with a T3 1:12 and haven't had a problem. If I want to shoot heavier projectiles I use my 308 or 30-06.
