Thread: Looking for a good all around rifle

Been there done that, bought an L461 which some idiot had reamed from .222 to .223 improperly and it would not close on factory ammo. Sorted in the end but took several tries. Did manage to get a first year 243 Rem Mod 7 for £150 which shoots fine but that's another story.

Sorry you got a lemon.
I've brought 2 Brno 465s, a mod 70 in 300 wsm and a vixen222 in the last 12 months or so and they all shoot bloody great. The hornets are around seventy yrs old and still shoot tight. And they are a pleasure to look at with their wooden stocks.
