The first varmint rifle I bought myself in my youth was a SAKO Vixen .222 Remington with the full length 23 1/2-inch barrel and a Mannlicher stock, not the much more common 20-inch barrel Mannlicher. Had the SAKO peep sight and a Weaver K-8 in the SAKO rings.
After my father died, I got his later SAKO Vixen .222 Remington Magnum with the heavy barrel and the semi-target style stock. Seemed overkill to have both so my earlier rifle flowed down the river of commerce.
