Thread: Sako why no 223 ???

Hey guys, new here but just thought id chuck my $0.02 in. I have a Browning X bolt in .223 and a Sako Bavarian in .270, while the Browning isn't quite on par with the Sako its very close IMO in terms of quality form and function. If you could get a Browning .223 with a 1 in 8 twist i think you would be very happy with it. Just something else to consider

Thanks for your input and genuinely no hate here but I really dislike x bolts I find them a bit slim in my big hands, just not comfortable and the fore on them is really soft and flexible.
I do agree I have friends who own x bolts and they do shoot well, just not to my taste.
As I have said in previous replies. I am going to persevere with my weatherby for now
