This past Fall I came across a sweetheart of a rifle. One that I've been patiently waiting for over the years. The new addition is a Remington Classic.222 that was NIB. Yes I did say was. Installed some Talley's , did a trigger job and mounted a Leupy 4-12 VX3. She's a shooter. Still haven't taken it out yet to get christened on fur.

That's a beauty, I love those Classics. I picked up one in the 220 Swift this past year, also NIB.
That Deuce will get the job done, good luck with it.
I also have the Swift. It's far from NIB though. Picked it up in 92 when they came out. It has taken hundreds of critters over the years and still will shoot under 1/2" with my loads pushing 55gr V Max's. Swift came out in 92 and 222 in 93.

I probably only have 100 or so rounds through this one but it's shooting plenty good enough to hunt with using AA2700 & 55 grain Sierra Blitz Kings. I had to get the trigger down to something that I could deal with, I bedded the front of the action and floated the barrel.
