I know this is not what you asked for, but I'll let you in on a (fairly public and well known) "secret" anyway.... You want a .222 Rem rifle?? Start shopping for a good Sako L461 (or A1) "Vixen" thus chambered. No, it will not be a new rifle, and, no, it will not be cheap, even on the second hand market. But, oh, are those Sakos sweet! I severely doubt any rifle currently built in .222 can match them for the price they are sold at. If you absolutely have to have a new rifle, a Cooper might be worth looking into. They are normally nice shooting rifles, although not as classy as the Sakos. Cabela's has a few of those Sakos listed on their Gun Library webpage - e.g. http://www.cabelas.com/product...av%26WTz_stype%3DGNP Prices may be a bit inflated at Cabela's, though. These rifles are not that hard to find, although they probably don't come cheaply anywhere these days. There are several options (varmint or sporter, target or normal trigger, single shot or repeater) to choose from. Some models sell at higher prices than others. - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon...

Tikka T3 in at least the Blued / Walnut Hunter model. Although this MAY be a special run just for Aust / NZ so may not be available in the rest of the world. . | |||

Also, look for a used Rem 788. Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

Call Dale Nygaard and have him track down a good Anschutz in Germany. Have never seen one that wasn't a tack driver. | |||

The CZ 527 American almost has varmint rifle capability.Takes a little stoning, however. roger Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone.. | |||

The European manufacturers all still make 222rem. However, it is really only Sako and CZ who make them in the correct action size. Mike advice on the Vixen is spot on. However, you should be able to find a 222 in a Sako 75 without much bother, Ok, they are not vixens, but they are really nice rifles compared to most other offerings. Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you.... | |||

All the rifles mentioned throughout this thread are excellent, but one stands out among all the others. The Blaser R93 is simply an outstanding example of craftsmanship and versatility. I have 8 barrels with my R93 professional and am extremely pleased with the performance of each one. | |||

who gives a chit about what is today - go get yourself an old sako HB and enjoy yourself by shooting the corners off postage stamps at 100 or so | |||

First Stop Gun in Rapid City SD has a really beautiful Dakota Predator in .222 on the shelf. It'll do .3" groups for sure if you can cough up the $2k price. I've got one in 6br and don't consider them overpriced.
