IMO, Most accurate factory varmint gun ever made was the Sako Vixen in 222......
Agreed,,,,,,,
I have that very rifle and after god only knows how many rounds it's opened up to 1MOA... That's probably still better than alot of factory guns before they get the "amenities" needed to become shooters...
I've come close to rebarreling it several times but just can't pull the trigger. Instead,, I'm going to have a smith bore-scope it and if the rifling's good (which I'm sure it is)I'm just going to have it set back and rechambered.. Might even do a tight neck, since I don't plan to load hundres of rounds for it at a time...
I've also heard that Lapua is going to start making 222 brass again. Another good reason to stick with the Deuce...
Easy on barrels,, always accurate,, and something different from the crowd.. What else could you ask for?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif
Sako, Cooper, Kimber??, and Dakota in no particular order, would all be good places to look for acuracy in a factory rifle IMO.
Chambering them in 6PPC, or 6BR ain't a bad idea either.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
