Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds In search of .222 Remington, Bolt action preferred…

Ishoot17 I’ve heard good things about czs, I’m not sure I’d warm up to thr bulky magazines I’ve seen on most tho.

I have a mint Win Model 70 222 Varmint, blue, walnut and Nikon 4-12X scope. $1200 plus shipping. May trade if it is something I can use.

I too have owned and shot quite a bit of the deuce 600’s. As far as I’m concerned the action alone puts them ahead of 700’s and most of the pack. The 600 action is stiff and used to be the base for many aacurate early benchrest rifles plus it has a really fast lock-time. If you can find one don’t let it get away

HarleyHutch, that’s a fine offer on a good rifle but my budget won’t allow me to spend that much I’m afraid. I’m needing a bargain basement unit I’m afraid… it’s tuff being on a fixed budget but retirement sure is worth it!

Thanks again,
Bill

Woodpecker I hear what you are saying on the 600-660 and XP100 type actions. I’ve considered converting my XP to a rifle but it would be a single shot only affair PLUS the gunsmith and parts bill would probably keep it from being a worthwhile venture anyway

I may have to put the XP on the market just to boost my budget so that I can afford today’s prices…

Thank you for your insights because the whole tall front sight and plastic rib affair on the Mohawk rifles had me wondering about their ability to shoot right groups.

The Mohawks do not have the plastic rib or shark fin sight, that feature was only on the original Rem 600.

In my experience the Rem 600's do not usually shoot as well as the Mohawk 600 or Rem 660, they have a thinner barrel contour and are prone to heating up a bit quicker, and there is just enough weight difference that they do not handle quite as well for me.

If my memory serves me correctly the Rem 600 was a 18.5" barrel, the 660 was a 20" barrel and the Mohawk 600 was an 18.5" barrel but the Mohawk 600 and Rem 660 were not as thin as the Rem 600.

Drover I stand corrected. I obviously don’t know as much as I thought about the rifles. Thanks for the info and insight. I am off to read up a little more now

I sent a reply Remington01 thanks.

222 Rem FI Sako Vixen here, one of my most accurate guns

^^^. Don’t overlook the Sako L461/A1 series of guns. They are the finest made mass produced rifles for the 222/223 family of cartridges ever produced. Cost wise, they’re probably on par with a m700 in 222 as well. You will do yourself a disservice by not at least looking at them.

PM sent.

Thanks Ben, I would love to have a Sako if funds allow. I have my eye on a couple but not sure what they will go for at auction. Thanks

And 40X I got you pm and replied. Thanks to you as well.

Look for a CZ 527

I have a 788 in 222 I would sell. You can send me a pm if interested. Thanks

Bill, is your XP .221 fire ball?

I went 9 for 9 on ground squirrels today out to 150 yards with the Mohawk 222 and 50 grain sx sp, very brutal projectile..

I've got a Tikka T3 Forest in .222 Remington that is unfired. This is blued/walnut. PM if there is some interest in that one.
