    Thanks for the reply timattalon.

    I've had similar thoughts regarding the 223, apparently the Sabatti is tested with Fiocchi 55gr and I now have a pack of 50. I blew a pack of PMC 55gr softpoint last time. The twist rate is 1:12, I see there is 45gr available.
    Scope on the 223 is definitely a $69.95 on special job and the rings were loose. I've now adjusted, bore sighted and tightened it. Will try it again without suppressor in 2 1/2 weeks as the range here is shotgun this weekend.
    I do think the scope will have to be replaced, but my confidence has to come back as well.

    Thanks for the offer on the various Nikko Stirling scopes, but I'll wait as I'm hoping some forum members that attend the likes of the SPARC 22LR throw in their 2c worth.
    In the meantime, I've been doing a heap of trips to Auckland and back and had time to listen to every podcast I can find, trying to learn.

    Cheers for the input
