I took the 222 out to the range today, the scope on it is a 6-24x43 Barska, and I'm not in love with it.
There's not a lot wrong with the scope it's just too much scope for a little rifle with a 20inch barrel that's supposed to be a walk around thing. So the scope is going to be replaced with a Vortex or some sort, probably a 4-12x40 and the stock will also go in favour of the fore mentioned Walnut from Boyd's.
In the meantime I had tightened the mounts which were loose, removed the stock and relieved a bit of plastic so the barrel would float. I had 100 rounds of Winchester Super Varmint and shot off 40 of 'em. It looks like it will be a genuine sub MOA rifle once I get the stock and scope sorted.
So far so good. All this and I'll still be well under the cost of a new Zastava plus scope.
If it's not wood and blued steel, it's not one of mine
