BSA parts are hard to get or you can find a good gun maker that can machine/make the part from scratch.

Sorry, I was referring to their older target rifle based .222. I haven't kept up to speed on there being a new front locking model. My mistake.Quote:

Weirauch make some pretty little .222s. It’s hard to beat the perennial favourite here though, the L461:

When I think about it, I know where there is a brand new target / varmint Krico in 222. I remember spending time longing for it on display. Heavy barrel, target style stock, textured surface to the wood for grip.....Just cannot find a picture. Was about $3k from memory which is why I did not buy it.
I kinda regret selling mine. There were certain things I didn't like about it, but they're nice guns overall.Quote:

People were fighting tooth and nail over it on Trademe lol. I think there are loads of ex forest service guys who want a mint one for nostalgic reasons. Once the old guard disappears, it'll be interesting to see whether the vixens retain their value or not. The fella who bought my one was in his early 20's. His old man had told him all about them. :)Quote:

Re the 222
The Hunter must take top rank going on its resale value and appreciating rate
Has to be the BSA Hunter with a Schnabnel fore-end though and not had swivel torn out which happens to most that got used proper :-(
:D always amazes me how many people suggest a vixen when the op states he dosn't want a sako:DQuote:
