I bought a sako vixen 222 bran new in the mid 70,s for $300.00. I didnt use it much because most of my fox were shot between 200 to 400 yd. I used a 243 instead, which was fur friendly unless you hit bone.I sold that vixen in 79 for $600, bought back from the same guy the next spring for $300. sold it again for $600 and got it back for a cheap taxidermy job.I sold it again for $600 to an out of area guy and never saw it again.Ya I love 222,s. I now own a rem. 700 classic in 222 and will never sell it.It is a great calling gun and can be loaded to be very fur friendly.
