Thread: Any 222's about

For all you guys who have pm'd me about the Vixen....
I'll make a couple of calls and see if its still for sale. It belonged to an old fella who hasn't used it for acouple of years and now doesn't want to renew his firearms licence.
Id buy it but I already got one.
I've seen it and reackon its about 7/10. The floorplate and a few other bits need rebluing or ceracoating,and the stock needs a bit of work to bring it back to original (if thats what you wanted)
I haven't fired a shot out of it so can't tell you more. Pretty sure its the early L 461

Just an update - its now listed on TM

A1 Hunter model by the looks

Yea, different bolt shroud and stock to the earlier model. Still a bargain I would have thought, depending on final dollars

When these first came out I brought one for $999 from Reloaders.

Final update:
Turned out this rifle sold for $1950.00, which would have to be getting right up there I would have thought. Seems this included the "not to flash" barrel that had been bore-scoped to confirm (as I hear locally)
Just hope it shoots well in any case, but as usual I spose its a case of "Buyer Beware", even more so with older 2nd hand rifles
