[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 854687, member: 10755"] G'day, here in Australia, I use my 222 predominantly as a walk around varmint/predator rifle, but also use it for the odd bit of spotlighting. I run Nosler Shots in 50gr @ 3300fps, my maximum range is 400yrds, where it has 24" of drop, I don't bother doping the scope, I just hold over. In any type of breeze, I won't shoot past 300yrds, too much drift for my liking. In my Sako L461 Vixen 24" barrel, I can walk around in the hills and not even notice the rifle on my shoulder, I really like this little rifle and cartridge. A CZ 527 would be just as handy, I reckon. I have killed cleanly small pigs, goats, foxes, wild dogs and rabbits with my 222 out to 400yrds, it really is a tremendously accurate little cartridge when you do your part. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
