I owned a Garcia Vixen .223, and also a 1960-ish Forester .243. The stock on the Vixen never quite felt right and I traded it for a B78 .45/70 that beat the crap outta me and also went down the road. My son has the Forester. I check for similar stuff online now and then, but when they show, there’s no shortage of interested parties.
Nothing quite like the Vixens, though the CZ 527 came close in many respects, but alas it's gone now too, which probably says something about the changed rifle market. Those who appreciate them and similar stuff should probably get ‘em while they can. Everyone ought to have at least one fine rifle amongst their bunch of plastic fantastics.
