The .222 has always been one of my personal favorites. I have a plain looking old Remington 788, 222 that has had a trigger job and glass bedding with a 12X Leupold scope that will easily out-shoot many rifles that cost several times as much with almost any ammo I run through it. I haven't personally seen or shot anything that is similar in weight or barrel profile that can readily surpass it. Now I'm certain that there are many other 222s or 22 and 6mm PPC sporters out there that will surely best it, but I'm also sure that they cost much, much more than the $200 I paid for my 788! I also have a Remington model 7, 222 that is no slouch accuracy wise either and makes for a very handy little varmint rifle. Not that I need another 222 but next one I buy will be the CZ....
