First time Rifle

[Cogswell & Harrison]

I believe it to be referred to as "The Gentlemen's Calibre" and it got instant traction as a benchrest round back in the 60' & 70's. From my point of view I am a tad recoil sensitive and anything above .243 puts me off although lately I've been shooting a friends moderated .308 which is, shall we say, bearable but I'm persevering nevertheless.

So, .222, my go to cartridge, calibre and rifle which I can shoot for hours on end with a simple 2-7x32 or 3-9x40, never lose the sight picture and be rewarded with very good sub, bordering on half at times, moa.



Apologies for drifting off topic and it's not me in the vid by the way!

That old boy is one of the most knowledgable folks on the internet, also long winded.
