Who makes new rifles in .222 Remington caliber.

[jds holler]

BLASPHEMER!!!!!

I guess I just felt like letting my inner-troll, off the leash. That happens sometimes when it's been too long since live fire. jd

Three Hail Mary's and twenty rounds downrange and you are forgiven...

 

[SSL]

Add the new Mauser M18 to the list. Affordable list price of $699 according to Rifle Magazine.

You can keep a look out for a deal and sometimes they just fall in your lap.

I just picked this up yesterday, 40XBR 222 , 2 oz trigger, Redfield 3200 20x, made in 1975. That’s when Mike Walker and Warren Page were shootin the same gun.
It’s in like-new condition, less than 100 rounds through it.

Just buy a Tikka T3.....

Sauer makes the 222 but I hear they are hard to find.

I wrote an article in Varmint Hunter about that very rifle! Or it's 1975 twin. I never found one I could afford so I duplicated it.

I got the book The Accurate Rifle by Page in 1976 and have lusted after the 40XBR in 222 ever since.

That’s cool you built a duplicate.

Two years ago I called the Remington Custom Shop to inquire, almost $4K and 6 months.
So I built a gun that would shoot off a bench like the 40XBR.
Savage single shot target action, 6oz trigger, Shilen 26” 1” Bull, .250” nk. Stockade Guns Pillar bedded stock, Leupold 35x in the pic, it now wears a Nightforce 42X in steel rings on a steel rail - it weighs 15 lbs. The Savage barrel nut system and Shilen prefit barrels makes it very easy to get very tight shooting rifles.

Can’t wait to see how the 40X compares.

I didn’t want to hijack this thread too bad- It looks like the OP got a bunch of options.

I picked up a Model 70 Winchester over the week-end. Its the XTR in 222. Beautiful rifle, hope its a shooter.

I built mine a little over a year ago. Thought about buying factory new, but something inside of me wanted to build it off of the action that made it popular so I snagged a used 722 action and found a bartlein 13 tw remington varmint countour barrel and had it chambered. Its been a joy to resurect this old action, in fact I just had it re-blued last week and it looks like new again. Shoots just about every bullet I put in it sub moa without even trying.

That one sounds peachy. Did ya use the original stock or ??? jd

No. I found a clean used HS precision stock on ebay from off an early 90s Remington SA.

 

[GoWyo!]

I'd look for a clean, used Sako L-461 or better yet, an AI.

13 twist, interesting. E

I felt it was a good choice to handle the 53-55 gn bullets that I was pinning my hopes on yet still maximize speed. So far its worked for the 53 gn varmageddons. Testing on the 55s will start when I get bored I suppose.

Getting 3250 fps avg with 21 gns of H4895, cci450 from the 24" bartlein. Rem 7 1/2s yield a bit more accuracy with some velocity loss (about 30fps) but I cant push them like I can the CCI 450s

You HAD to put up that Anschutz ad didn't you??? LOL I have an older Anschutz 1532 with heavy barrel that has been nothing but a joy to shoot for several years and was thinking about looking at new ones but not that hard cuz I know me. Take Care

 

[North Fork]

I have two of them one is a 40 x the other one is a Sako which i made into a 222 mag they are both fun to shoot

 

[snert]
