    I thoroughly enjoy your videos and appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge. I'm in the UK. Shooting is heavily regulated here, making it difficult to find and usually expensive. Because we are a small and densely populated country, there are few places to hunt (which is fair enough - it wouldn't be safe in many areas because you are rarely far from other people and much land is intensively farmed). As a result, I shoot small game with an air rifle for much of the time and only occasionally treat myself to a club session with a small calibre target rifle when funds permit. I hope I can say this without embarrassing you, you strike me as a traditional American gentleman - capable, thoughtful, well informed and kind. God bless you.

    I will turn 71 in a couple of weeks God willing so I can relate to much of what he's talking about especially on the 222 Remington. I purchased a Model 700 Remington in 222 cal. in the mid 70's and it has been my favorite rifle ever since. I did a lot of varmint hunting in the 70's and 80's and it did the job well. Shots between a fox eyes at 100 yards at night were not uncommon. I'm now in the process of reloading a bunch of 222 shells. I'm so glad I found these video's.

    Good to hear from you again. And nice shooting as always sir. I have got an old Sako l461 Vixen in 222rem. Recently I had to rebarrel it, the old bofors barrel was shot out. I had my gunsmith put in an new Lilja barrel in cal 222rem with a 1/10 barrel twist. Barrel is 55cm long with a Hausken jd184 moderator. The barrel seems to stabilize bullet weights from 50gr and atleast 62gr. The bullets im using is the lapua fmj and the lapua sp 55gr, and the lapua naturalis 50gr, and the hornady v-max 50gr. All shooting fenomenal and to the same point of aim. All reloaded with lapua cases. That covers all my needs from a varmint and small game rifle. Everything else I`m using the 9.3x62. Now I`m gonna enjoy my ryebread sandwich with gravlaks, sweet mustard and eggs. God bless. Greetings from Norway. Tom

    • @GunBlue490
      @GunBlue490  4 года назад +1

      Greetings Tom! Sounds like a great rebarrel job, and a good twist to handle heavy bullets. Have traveled to Norway twice, to visit our friends in Moss, and had much fun at Ol94! Wonderful times, and is where I fell in love with gravlax.

      @GastonGross You said it, initially cz bolt not as slick as the tikka but got slicker with use and a wipe with a lightly oiled cloth. Only one slight issue, because of the Mauser action the bolt handle comes close to the scope, i can live with it.

    GB, I always enjoy your videos. I also enjoy knowing there are others out there who love the .222 Rem. round. I have a few Sakos, two of which are chambered in .222. I have a 1969 Vixen (L461) with a "Mannlicher" stock, and a 1958 Riihimaki (L46) with a bull barrel and heavy target stock. Sakos are among my very favorite rifles and perform extremely accurately and flawlessly.

And by the way, I wholeheartedly agree with your Point Blank Range sight in being high at 100 yards. It affords you maximum use of the bullets trajectory and making things easier for game at further ranges. Thank you for sharing, God Bless and Happy New Year!!

    Welcome back, Sir. Tikka is fenomenal rifles! My thought is why not all bolt action rifles were not made with detacable magazines after 1945. They are easier to clear and load, and easier to change between ammo- wether you hunt smaller game that does not need an expanding bullet or bigger game that need more than a spitzer or round tip. Never had the pleasure of shooting a .222rem though.

    @DEEPNNN 4 года назад

    Very timely video. Two days before going to the range. Thanks for the lessons.
    So, I tried to follow your Instructions but a few things got in the way. The Provincial range added a new shooting bench with a baffle. That limited the table length. The table was also a little low and all I had was a cardboard box and 3 beanbags to compensate. I don't own a rear support but putting my hand back to support the stock did help to steady my aim. The bench seat was at a right angle to the table, so 45deg was not much of an option.
    My son and I took turns shooting groups of 3 at 100 yards. We're both lefties and in the end, the results objectively proved my gun is sighted in to under an inch at 100 yards.
    We each fired 9 rounds of 30-06 180 grain over 2 hours and frankly we were tired of being slapped around any further. LOL

    I really enjoyed this latest video. Based on your previous comments regarding the .222 Remington I am about to make this calibre my first foray into centre fire territory, having been a rim fire shooter up to now. The icing on the cake being that I am also taking a serious look at the Tikka T3X so your video could not have come along at a better time.

    I ❤️my M77 tang safety Ruger; I rechambered it from the .308 to the 260AI. It has greater range with higher sectional densities, with less recoil, with compatibility to reload with resized .308 cases if need be. I agree with P.O. Ackley’s findings that the 40 deg. shoulder’s greatest benefit was reduced brass migration and less work hardening.

      @HarrisonCountyStudio 4 года назад +1

      I Live my Ruger, I own an M77 in .25-06 w/ tang safety. Circa 1971, it has never let me down. This rifle was a gift from my father 30+ years ago. It still adorns a period correct Bushnell 3x9 scope chief. What a shooter. Saving up for a high end scope ✌🏽
