I just wanted to say that the .222 or Triple Deuce as some refer to the caliber, was without a doubt the most accurate caliber I ever owned or hunted with period.

It was easy on the fur and boring to shoot at paper targets. Why you could close your eyes and still print a group under 1/2 inch with factory ammo mind you, any day of the week come rain or shine.

I reloaded mine and for a light hunting rifle, it was fabulously accurate. It never had the distance of the 22-250 but then again the 250 was never as accurate as a general rule either. I would take another any day over the .17 or the .204.
