Posted By: TXDave Remington 722 .222 - 04/09/24
Just picked up a Remington 722 in .222 at the Tulsa gunshow. Would like some info on the rifle itself and scope that was on it. The scope is a Burris 10X and is quite long. Can't wait to get this out to the range. I'll post pictures when I get a chance if I can figure out how, lol

Once you upload to the gallery you have to then copy the link to each photo you want to post. You almost had it right.

Looks like a nice old rifle.

That's a good one. I would turn that front base around to give a bit more spacing. This gun will treat you well.

Bull barrel?

No it still has the sight boss, what you are seeing is the shadow on the wall alongside the barrel.

TxDave: Good for you.
That is the Rifle my older brother and I shared back 56 years ago.
I hope you enjoy that nifty old Rifle as much as we enjoyed ours. I currently own a (different) very accurate Remington 722 in 222 Remington that wears a Lyman straight 10 power scope.
I, like 219 Wasp, was wondering WHY that front scope base is NOT facing the other direction - it would serve you better and would be worth the time to be turn't around.
Enjoy.

Lol, yeah I'm going to turn that base around. I thought the same thing when I bought it.

The older I get the more I appreciate older rifles like that. Nice find! I hope you and her have a nice relationship for a long time.

Rem .222, (miniature 30-06) will generally shoot anything well.
Good luck with it !
