Both very nice rifles I'm sure. That 222 would be one to see for sure. As for the XTR's, the finish varies by era. Some are more polished and beautiful than others. The most recent XTR in my collection is a 300WBY and it is no where near as polished and beautiful as some of the XTR FWT's I've seen and owned. For this rifle, I went with a 12 oz, lightweight but very useable Leupold Vari-x IIc 3-9X40:

It's a great combination, but the funny thing is that scope now resides on one of my new to me 7mm rem mags. That poor Leupold has been bounced around to 4 different new rifles in the last 2 months..
