I always wanted a Rem 600 in 222. To me, the vent rib wins the cool factor, hands down. Hell ya, I agree. Now I need to install some big dumb swfa turrets and I’ll feel real cool!!😂😂

I may have missed it, but if you've been using .224" bullets, it may be very worthwhile to try the .223" .
My uncle collected all kinds of Winchester rifles and in a few he found. 223" bullets shot much better than the .224s did. I didn't know this was a thing. There are bullets that are actually .223" diameter? Yes, made for older 22 Hornets.

Be sure and put red electrical tape around both ends and the turrets.

Nice. I know a 222 is a good coyote cartridge. I'm just worried about what it might do to a fox or bobcat pelt. Is that a Remington 600? Yep 600, love it. I wouldn’t worry too much about 222 tearing up hides Especially if you can slow en down or use a regular soft point and not an SX, TNT or Blitz style bullet.

Ya I’ve been using the rem factory 50 psp, accurate enough don’t leave big exits.

There are bullets that are actually .223" diameter? Just got back in, yes it's a thing, limited choices but worth a try. My uncle had 218s, Hornets, k-hornets that I remember. His one Bee wasn't much of a shooter until he tried the smaller bullets. One other one didn't care as long as they were short. He used a lot of Speer 45gr sp.
