222 centerfire rifle

Post by verminfilmer » 29 Jun 2012, 01:10

hi all, as above in looking at purchasing in the near futer another 222 rifle for foxing as its already on my cert and i dont want the messing about sending it in and paying yet another £26.00 i just want a 222 what is accurate up to the 200 - 250 yard mark, the last rifle i had was a RWS 222 and it gave me with my shooting about a 1 inch group at 100 yards now as im older than most i like old rifles and most of the new rifles are just spin offs from older models, so what if any are your suggestions to go for ? im thinking BRNO 222 as ive never shot one but i have seen some awsom shots done with them on foxes, my budget is sub £500.00 ATB john
