I saw a new .222 1A @ Dominion Outdoors the other day and the wood was great looking. The price ($1299) was the only reason I handed back to the clerk. It also had checkering on the forearm like their special edition ones for their 50'th anny and the 30-06 100'th anny. Got the impression they...
I assume you're having the barrel made for a #1. The ammo made for it has to cover the lever action Winchesters so the are loaded with the blunt 46gr bullets. However, if you reload you can get a 35(Hornady)-36(Barnes Var Grenade)gr up over 3000 fps with a little H110 or Lil Gun behind them. My...
Used to road hunt woodchucks, crows, and such with my father. Had an M77 in a 22-250 with the light barrel. Thing was a laser. I remember one time there was a crow at about 200yds sitting on the top of a leafless winter tree. I held on his neck expecting an inch or so drop. When I touched it off...

Also there is no vaccine. Just treatments administered at gunshop checkout counters. Treatments last for varying amounts of time directly based on wallets and wives.
The "V" models are my favorite. I have a 220Swift, .204Ruger, 300WinMag, and 7MM Mag. Tried to find a 1V 6.5 Creedmoor last Aug but they had all dried up. Had to settle for a Ruger M77 Target in the Creedmoor. That thing's a nail driver.
