Favorite Rifle We've Sold

[Researcher]

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.

Sadly I’ve had both the 20” and 23” Mannlicher stocked Sako’s in 222 and own neither anylonger .
