Zengela: A Remington 722 in 222 Remington was one of my very first centerfire Varmint Rifles back in the mid-60's.
Reliable and simple guns these are, and usually very accurate - even with their somewhat long and slender barrels.
The 722 Remington in 222 Remington that I own and shoot on occasion (special occasions!) is VERY accurate with its period correct Lyman 10 power scope.
This 722 in 222 Remington really likes the Nosler 40 grain Ballistic Tips and H 322 powder.
I would recommend a variable scope with a fair amount of power at the top end - like a 4x12 or 4x16 to get the most out of the gun, accuracy wise.
Best of luck to you and be sure and let us know how it shoots.

Varmint, it has a correct period scope. Tasco 6-24 with small fine cross hairs, I don't like it(I will warm up to it)but it stays put I want this as a retro correct period piece, not some old rifle with a super-dooper slick new scope thrown on top of it.
