I have a shot at some 150 grain W-W Powerpoints and 154 grain Hdy SPs that I might pick up. I have some Speer 130’s and Remington CL 140’s here also. If I were to go to Africa, I would probably try the 160-175’s as well but for a lightweight deer rifle that may occasionally get to go elk hunting...

Got one

Thanks Don, I hadn’t thought of that. Will keep an eye out for those too! What are you planning to shoot in yours bullet-wise?

Wanted: A sporter contour barrel (take-offs considered too) no shorter than 22” chambered and twisted for 7x57mm Mauser. Got a project in the works and trying to keep cost minimal. If I am going to have to pay more than ~$200, I will probably just pony up for a Douglas or a Shaw barrel. I have...

Ah the .30-06! There isn’t much I can add that hasn’t been said already. My first, a Winchester Model 70 Classic Stainless is still my favorite. With this rifle I have killed a train car of coyotes, bobcat, mule deer, whitetail deer, an aoudad, and most of my elk. I have used several factory...

I had a decent shooting Rem 722 in Triple Deuce a few years ago that I sold like a fool. This Sako is even prettier and shoots better. I’m happy! Love me a good .222!

Near as I can tell no. Cosmetically the Vixen had a nicer machined floor plate, where mine is stamped. The bolt shrouds are some different too. I happen to think a 24” barrel is just about perfect for any of my sporters, even with a .222 26” is too long, 22” is too short.

Thanks! Always preferred the look of a dull, hand rubbed finish. The stock modifications made it feel much more like a sporter and less like a wannabe target rifle. That said, if I can find a heavy barreled Winchester push-feed target rifle in .222, I may just get it for punching paper!

Never too late to pick one up! Starline (and others) make brass, .224 bullets are plentiful. The report from the 24” barrel is just a bit louder than a .22 Magnum to my ears. Definitely quieter than any .223 I have ever fired.

Took this Sako L46 Riihimaki .222 in partial trade for my Ruger No.1 6mm. According to my research it was made early in 1952 (SN-80XX). The stock needed some work. The forend was super wide, and the pancake, roll-over cheekrest was excessive. I took out some material in the wrist, leaving a...

Not hardly. 😀
