Thread: critter gun

So with the AR gone Im starting to kick around ideas for a walkaround 223 /222. Mostly wallabys , ocasional deer ect. Not really interested in the usual tikka/sako .CZ stuff so what eles is out there?
budget 3k ish if its nice, prefer wood but open minded.

Im sure I could make it into one

have a look around for a zastava...... there have been a few come up recently...they are a really nice honest work horse that isnt half bad to look at and give some love with an oily rag at end of day to clean off the blood and debris.

Cheers, Yes good honest gun but Im looking for something a little off the beaten track more than a work horse.
Shultz and larsen legacy maybe, that sort of thing.

Was going to suggest a Savage Lightweight Hunter (if you're after something light and handy) and spend the other 2/3 of your budget on nice glass and ammo, but thats probably a bit more workhorse category than you're after too I guess? The wooden version does look nice though IMO




Kimber might be an option?

Have had one, just could get past the funny bolt, and the assembly quality wasnt that great. Looked smart at a quick look tho, im picking hes looking for something of a far better quality.

Didn't you have a Weirauch at one time . . . they do a 222 I think

Yes I have one in .17 hmr. good thought, Id have to check the twist rate.

Go old school, keep your eye out for a nice Sako Vixen in 222
