They were up to about 5 years ago, then they all changed to 1-8 for a couple of years and then went back to 1-12. If yours is NEW, and from new stock it will be 1-12, if it is new, but has been on the shelf for a few years (not that uncommon) it may be 1-8. Tikka .223 is only available special order in 1-8 now I understand! Quote Link to post

Ric I always take the simple route, if it has .223 stamped on the gun then use .223, if it has 5.56 stamped on the gun use 5.56. That seems pretty easy to me. I have yet to see ANY gun with 5.56 or .223 stamped on it. Quote Link to post
