Zengela: I owned a Remington 722 in caliber 244 Remington for a time.
Invested in it as a for profit gun and thus I never shot it.
You might put a 244 on your wish list as well.
There is a collector over in the Bitterroot Valley of western Montana and he has six or seven Remington 722's in 222 Remington Magnum.
He brings them to all the shows and prices them VERY high - I think so no one will buy them?
Tasco 6x24 huh.
Dial that baby up and let us know how it shoots.
Good luck.
Hold into the wind
