Our Assessment: This rifle has a stainless steel bull barrel with sharp rifling, a hardwood stock with very minor scuffs and scratches, a Leupold 36 power scope and a 5.6oz trigger pull. It is chambered in .222 Remington Magnum; Per Wikipedia: “The .222 Remington Magnum was created by lengthening the case and shortening the neck of the highly accurate and very popular .222 Remington cartridge, which dominated varmint and benchrest shooting during the 1950s. Case capacity is about 20% greater than that of the .222 Remington, producing moderately higher muzzle velocities. The .222 Remington Magnum served as the basis for the German-developed 5.6×50mm Magnum sporting cartridge.” This setup is a bench rest shooter’s dream that rates in about Excellent condition.
