I still have one of those extinct 222 magnums- a Sako L461 action and barrel in a Chet Brown fiberglass stock. Wears a 4-16 Weaver V series.
A rifle I'll never part with. Have enough brass stockpiled to wear out this barrel, and another one after that.
Took a friend of mine woodchuck hunting for a weekend. We used the 222 magnum Sako and a couple other rifles. By the end of the weekend, my friend was calling the 222 magnum 'the death ray', so I guess it works
