I spotted one of these at a local pawn shop in a 22-250 that looked to be in very good condition. What calibers were they offered in? Seems to be alot of information on the sporter models but not much on the heavy barrel models. Anybody have one that can shed some light on this model?

According to the 1974 catalog they were chambered in 222 and 22-250. Mag capacity 3, bbl 23", 13 5/8" length of pull, drop at comb 1 7/8", drop at Monte Carlo 2 1/8", weight 8 1/2 pounds.
Price $269.95 (retail of course)
I bet with a little haggling you could have got them to knock $20 off it!!

I don't believe they had a clip?? I was reading that old catalog and it does make mention of the clip/magazine. Funny, in the pictures in the catalog they don't show it, probably for good reason!

Interesting that they chambered the .222, a decade after the .223 became a factory round.

Interesting that they chambered the .222, a decade after the .223 became a factory round. It's the European influence. The 223 replaced the 222 almost overnight in the US, but it took longer in Europe. Also, some European countries ban civilian ownership of "military" chamberings such as 308 and 223. This kept up interest in the 222.

Thanks for the history note. Makes sense!
