Browning Abolt Hunter in 222 remington
Anyone ever own one of these? I have always liked that little .222 and can imagine it will be a shooter.

I've never owned a browning a-bolt in 222 but I'm a huge Browning a-bolt fan! I love the caliber too! The ones I have messed with love 45 grain v-max bullets.
Is this for your varmit / predator project? I think that would be a great gun / caliber for that application! |

I swear by my A-bolt, it's most of my hunting buddies main rifles as well. I think the Browning safety is the best location for a hunting rifle as well, right where you need it and quiet. TheHunter is a very practical, no nonsense rifle. I have never shot a 222 though.

I’ve never shot a Browning rifle but I do have a 222 Rem. I like shooting that little round. Came in handy this fall for pest control. Funny thing is that I stocked up on brass for it and haven’t start reloading yet...[>:]

ORIGINAL: oldelkhunter Is this for your varmit / predator project? I think that would be a great gun / caliber for that application! However, back to the 222, the ones I have messed with preferred a shorter barrel, around 20"-22" so the a-bolt hunter would be ideal I would think. |

I have only seen and handled the Browning A Bolt Varminter chambered in the ol tripple duece. They come with a blued light varmint contour barrel and camoflaged synthetic stock. As good as that cartridge is I would still opt for a 223 over the 222 just for the fact of ammo is much cheaper and more availble and slightly better ballistics.

If my personal experirences mean anything, that gun should shoot! I have two A-bolts, a .243 and a .30-06. Both will shoot a variety of loads under an inch at 100 yards, the .243 shooting 70 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips under .5" if I do my part.
I had a Remington 788 in.222, and I shot the best group of my life (.25 inch-5 shots) with that rifle. Why did I trade it?:eek: I currently have a Rem Model 7 in.222. That little carbine will shoot .5" groups all day. Combine that cartridge with an a-bolt, and happiness should result!! Will |
