    149164149165 BSA Regent .222 Recent purchase, just in the process of a quick tidy up. Done a heap of work and the barrel is tired, so going to re-barrel to .222 or my favourite- 6x45

    Been a while, but took down a fallow yearling today with my Best Stuff Available .222. Slightly quartering on at about 40yds, busted onside from leg, minced top of the heart and bottom of the lungs....

    Had my .222 out in the bush today. Bumped into a red stag at fairly close range, but the right shot wasn’t on offer so off he walked. Maybe next time....

    Thanks to everyone for their input! The data and experiences presented, make a fairly convincing point that the .222/.223 has a valid place in this game. Hopefully any punters new to the sport,...

    Moa Hunter liked post by Hunter_Nick On thread : Synthetic stock suggestions for a CF2
    If I had a bit more disposable income, I would buy a stock and do this for my BSA .222 and document it as a ‘build along’. Unfortunately, I’m in hardcore save mode post separation..... I thought...

    I reckon you could take almost any carbon stock (inletted for whatever) and make it work. It would involve a bit of mucking around, but doable. I’ve played with composites a bit, and imagine it...

    Micky Duck liked post by Hunter_Nick On thread : Diagnosing a accuracy problem with my .222
    It must be a reasonable bore defect. The bore on my BSA .222 is quite pitted, it feels damn gritty when pushing a patch down it. Somehow it still manages a decent .6” group at 100 with federal 55gr....

    I used, and suggest you try the Hornady match loads with the 168gr ELD-M. The reason I suggest that is, due the lowered speeds out of a short .308 you want a projectile that will open up for you and...
