I thought i just saw one for sale on HPA.   I just sold an extra .223/12 I had.  .22 hornet/12 is tougher to find and you are going to pay for it.

You know I heard the 22 Hornet  12 don't get knocked off zero  like the  223.?????????  Think I'm going to try a little 6.5 BRM  .264 this week for coyotes.. With EABCO 6.5 BRM factory  140 grainers.  I was in awe how the Muller APV 4 X 12 worked for night time shooting.....I have it set at 100 yards..

Like I said before... When using the 24V 223/12 I have killed one gray fox and one coyote and both were shotgunned.   the gray with  high Brass # 4's and the coyote with Deadcoyote T. Not that the  223 won't hit... Just what developed when we were calling..I have a Weaver  4 X 12 on my  223/12 Savage  24V.

Thanks guys! I found one yesterday and bought it. I got to "pimp" it out a little and take it shooting when this weather makes it possible.

 HD  congrats on your gun purchase!  A little tip that will help you when sighting it in. Take a break between shooting. You can heat the rifle barrel up quickly and get poor groups. I think it takes a little while to cool down due to the design of the barrel combination. It's a tip I picked up on the savage 24 forum.
