I found a nice magazine on ebay for my 788. It was a little pricey but now i have a spare magazine for it

Any have the 222 mag.

I also have had really good luck with Accurate 2015 powder in my .222's

No, but I’d take one if I stumbled on it.
In all too many years of shooting over spreads in the west, I think the property holders folks or hired helped that asked to come out with me most commonly had .222 rifles. I saw a bunch of coyotes we called in drop dead on the receiving end of those. I had often thought of buying one and surely would have if I happened on one at the “right” moment. I have forever shot something a bit heavier because many situations I was in required a little more lethality and I like the familiarity of one caliber at a time so to speak.

.223 someone here has me shooting some now, it’s a fine round off the wall as well. As far as most people use them in the real world it does fine. People seem to think they can outshoot their weapons. No, they can’t.

One day I’ll poke thru a shop and find a .222, hopefully in a magnum, another fun addition to the herd when actually I should be sending some to the sale ring.

Sako don’t know what you paid but they are all over the internet for around 45 bucks. I bought an extra for mine in the 80’s I think I paid 25 for it back then

I think mine was around $60 shipped. Only ones i could find at the time were on ebay

Who cares the price if its what you need and gets the job done?

I should but don’t. I found a 722 in 222 Mag in a gunshop in Rapid City the price was good, rifle was even better. Got some regret for not buying it.

I remember reading , once, that a lot of the Inuit loved the .222 Rem. and used it for about everything.
