Swiss Arms SHR970 in .223

[beltfed]

I'm considering one of these 'tactical' models in .223 with the 24" fluted barrel.
Anyone with experience with one? What's the rate of twist on these?
Are they worth the extra dough?

Thanks.

Well I have a 300wm shr tactical and really like it. The only things that bugs the crap out of me as that there is hardly any after marker. Shoots well, sub moa, but after buying my new ltr and then putting work into that well...I am thinking of selling the shr. For 2000 bucks you can go and get a rem 700p, get it bedded and have the trigger worked on and have 500 dollars to spare. Your in Calgary so there are lots of options here including the semi custom route. The other thing about the shr is it will be a long action .223. All in all the shr is a nice rifle but in 223 there are many many options. Tikka tactical, cz527 kevlar stock (Det mag), rem 700 (700p, ltr and all the varmint models) savage 10fp. All of these are amazing rifles. SHR is a good gun and I don't regred buying mine, my tastes have just changed.
