My first 222 was a special run BLR 222 .Not a good choice for such a great cartridge . I Did fight that trigger pull .! The action would freeze up in bad nasty snowy cold .That rifle did carry well I thought I would use it when horseback carrying it in a scabbard. If I still had it I would keep though it was a bit awkward at times .

“To account nothing of one's self, and to think always kindly and highly of others, this is great and perfect wisdom.”
