Alan,
I haven't played with the Sako Vixen, only shooting a friend's a couple of times, and then he passed away suddenly... his wife tried to give it to me, but I passed on it, just not feeling right about it...it was a Mannlicher 222 model...
If you have any desire to fondle the Howa Mini Action 223, send me a PM and we can line up a time to do so, either over in Medford ( White City) or if you make it up to the Josephine County Range...
would be good to see you... its been a while...
