Is there really enough of a difference between the two to make it worth while?
If you really want a 223 rather than bastardise a sought after classic just sell it and/or buy another rifle in 223.
The sako vixens came out in 223 as well... i have one
I know I seen yours gillie... Nice rig, yip and there is I diff between 223 and 222, kiwijames if I had wanted a vixen in 222 i would have had one by now. Thanks tho
Simple re barrelling job. Usually no mag alterations required on the sakos. I'm doing one at the moment for a customer, as old 222 barrel was shot out.Quote:

That's a good point Dreamer.
If you do find one make sure that the barrel is good. I bought one off a guy on the other forum which I had to get rebarreled. The seller said it was 8 out of 10. He didn't want anything to do with it afterwards, Dickhead. My own fault tho for buying it after only seeing pictures.
