Used to own a Sportco .222 and a Sako .22 250. Both were tack drivers, but man that .22 250 was an amazing rifle. Easily reached out a couple a hundred metres further, and the animals tipped over @400m even as you were finishing taking up the trigger pull. Hammer of thor with accurate shots. But I ran that Sako 22 250 in BS times (before suppressor) came onto the scene. Was bloody hard on the ears compared to the long barrelled .222
