Boatanchor: What model and barrel length is your 40X?
I actually got my Remington 40XB-BR for FREE!
Well, kind of free.
I used to work an off duty job at the Warshals Sporting Goods store in downtown Seattle, Washington.
Someone ordered the 40XB-BR in 222 and then could NOT follow through on the purchase when it arrived.
The owner of the store liked me and allowed me to "work off" the balance owed on that Rifle in lieu of paycheck monies.
It was (and still is!) one of the most accurate Rifles I have ever owned.
With BR quality bullets it has shot groups (5 shots at 100 yards) in the 1's on dead calm days.
Anyway I thank my lucky stars that I was in the right place at the right time to take advantage when it came along.
The 222 Remington IS still an excellent and worthwhile cartridge and I am rather miffed that the folks at Remington no longer offer it up in their Varminters and standard Rifles.
Hold into the wind
