Why thank you, thats what I believe

There are a ton of tyre kickers here, plenty with an opinion and no interest in buying. Had the same a few years back with a new Sako 75 in 22-250. Eventually sold it for what I wanted, despite the helpful advice that it wasn’t worth what I was asking.

The right buyer will snap it up as a keeper, don’t be rushed by the unhelpful noise.

.222

221 Fireball.
50 grain bullet x 14.5 grains of Lil’gun = 3063 fps = above 1000 ft lbs.
222 relatively low pressure cartridge when compared to 221 Fb.

Ps. Sorry, we’re detracting from thee thread.

It was indeed that I would then be able to use it for die. I’m not and I can’t.

Think that’s about the min calibre for roe I can tell you 22-250 handles Roe deer without any difficulty at all - pinpoint shot placement is the key and correct bullet choice. In England I use a 25-06 which shoots just as flat with 100gr bullets

Thats my opinion also - not in a rush - its not depreciating any

 

[FlyBoy270]

I’m sure in Texas it would sell for $2500

most useful thank you - just like your previous responses

I've posted on this thread before, but I'm amazed this rifle hasn't gone. I was out with my A2 ast night, and every time I am out with it, it brings a smile to my face! It's light, extremely accurate, and does everything you want it to. This was, without a doubt, one of the very best factory rifles available for very many years, and to get one in this condition is a chance too good to miss!

Mike is back in country middle of January if any interest in this.

Thank you - that is my opinion - I will be back in UK for some months from mid May if anyone is interested - I will take it out and shoot a group with it to see if that makes a difference
I expect it will perform to expectations

This isn't a Deluxe, it's a Classic (lower, straight comb, no skip line chequering etc). Interesting to see how prices have changed, though.
