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 .
