Remington model 700 220 swift topped with a nikon 6.5X20. I shoot hornady 50 gr v-max. If I set up in the jack firs I use my Remington 1187sp and shoot dead coyote T loads.

Although it hasnt made a kill, or been shot by me yet, it will be my go to gun. 22-250 NEF- 3x9 Leupold- Harris bipod-Minaska M-1 Bandit. ADNAHOUNDSMAN says it is a tack driver. Hope to sight it in this weekend. Nothing high end but should do the trick. Markts

I have a similar set-up, but in .223.  I haven't put a lot of ammo through it yet, but it will shoot 1 MOA.

this is the only picture i  have of it up close, but it is a .222 remington mag shooting 55 gr. bt with 21.9 grains of IMR 4198 at 3,350 fps. i love the gun its a tack driver, but the downside to it is that they dont make ammo for the gun anymore.

Mine isn't much to look at...  ;)



Savage Model 10 Predator in .204 Ruger, Leupold 4-12x scope (then there is the optional 3X Bulzeye eyepiece). There is a Primos mouse squeaker attached near the front swivel.

I keep my cartridges "on board", never absent and always rattle-proof.

this is the only picture i  have of it up close, but it is a .222 remington mag shooting 55 gr. bt with 21.9 grains of IMR 4198 at 3,350 fps. i love the gun its a tack driver, but the downside to it is that they dont make ammo for the gun anymore.

The ammo is available from Hornady in 40 gr VMax and 50 grain VMax, from Winchester in 50 gr. Super-X® Pointed Soft Point and from Remington in 50 grain PowerLokt HP and PSP.
A Smith & Wesson Beats Four Aces.

you can buy bullets for it just like its the regular .222 remington, but they dont make casings or even factory loaded ammo for it anymore. they discontinued the .222 mag. i have been handloading with the casings i have.

I need to throw a bipod on it however.
