I had a Vixen .222 with a full-length "Mannlicher" stock for a while. It was very accurate, but eventually somebody else wanted it more than I did.

A couple years ago I bought one of the earlier Sako L-46's in .222. It had been used pretty hard so the bore wasn't in perfect shape--but it shoots just as well. The only handload I tried was one worked up for the Vixen, and it put five shots into .6 inch....
