Sako and Tikka forever.

love that Sako.

Beautiful ❤️❤️

I just purchased a cz 527 .222 rem, I hope to get good accuracy like yours. In Brazil it is difficult to find ammunition in this caliber, so I will have to work recharged ammunition, do you have any recommendations?

The neat Leupold compliments that Sako. Nice neat, practical rifle. Love it. 👌. That calibre and rifle will serve you well. Do not change anything on it.

I may have commented before, but your rifle is classic looking with the high-gloss Leupold scope. A great combination to launch 6.5x55 Swedish rounds. Thank you for the review. Your weather looks identical to November weather here in Western Washington State. Cheers.

Excellent rifle and calibre.

Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪

That’s a really nice rifle and a great caliber

Sako with US rounds. I have a CZ 222 and use sako 40g. Very accurate, and safe round (balistic tip). I get similar moa

Love my Sako Finnbears. 30-06, 300, 338 Win Mags

You may want to look at Warne detachable scope mounts. They add little to the overall weight and are specifically designed for the Ruger receiver dovetail. With a couple of turns of the levers the No. 1 is instantly returned to it's handy off-hand shooting mode.

The best Caliber for me.Universal.

I had a Winchester featherweight 7x57 years back and without giving it much thought I sold it...I have regretting it ever since. What a beautiful unbeatable cartridge.

My M94 and M96 both like the heavy bullets, Sellier and Bellot 156gr SP for the M96 and 160gr Hornady RN in the M94. Devastating on deer. Happy Huntin.

Cool

The real Swedish Mauser actions M94,96,38 built by Carl Gustaf and Husqvarna used a special high quality tough Swedish steel that was better than any German steel. Even the “Swedish” Mausers built in Germany were required to use that steel. Those actions were proof tested to almost 63,0000 psi. With those actions the hand loaded 6.5x55 will leave the 6.5 Creedmoor in the dust, especially with 140 grain and heavier bullets because the bullets can be seated farther out to take full advantage of Swede’s case capacity. I have one of the “Sporterized by Kimber of America Inc., Clackamas OR. USA.” Carl Gustafs Stads M96 built in 1914. Barrel cut to 22”, lathe turned down to a medium sporter contour to eliminate the old military mid-barrel hump. Mounted in a Ramline synthetic stock. Not as aesthetically pleasing as that SAKO but with classic form and very serviceable. It came with a Tasco 2-10x40, which I upgraded to a little bit better something else. All numbers match. Came to me with a bunch of ammunition about 5 or six years ago for $500.00 USC. Great 1MOA shooter even with inexpensive PPU ammunition. For those of you who don’t know the story about the Sporterized by Kimber Swedes you’ll have to look that up. Happy hunting boys and the!😊

Yes some "dont know' anything about a 222

Like those 222s

Beautiful rifle

I have just bought the same rail for my exact rifle and the bolts aren’t big enough to install the rail to the rifle. Did you use bigger screws and drill out the rail?

Hello, nice video on a beautiful rifle. What scope mounts and rings do you use or recommend? I've recently picked up a 1976 Ruger No. 1 with nothing but the original bases. Thanks for any and all help.

Fin bössa! Precis skaffat en No1 med 66cm pipa i 243 win till bockjakten. Vilt uppspelt över att få montera siktet och leta fram en bra kula. Känns som kolvkammen kan bli lite låg.

وا وا عجب چیزی بود

That's a first class Barrel. Good before cleaning, excellent after cleaning. I clean after every shooting, oil the barrel, deoil before the next shooting. So I have every time the same start ( especially for hunting). I had corrosion in several barrels before I changed my system. I use paper tissues on a woolbrush for deoiling ( cheap & good). Greetings

Är det svårt för dig att få tag på 222:er ? Har själv viljat skaffat en för allt från bock jakt till harjakt…

Easier to sight and shoot in at 25m and then move to 100y/100m

Wow nice vid..toooo freaking cold wherever you are…love your gun and scope..very jealous..your explaining was very nice…wonderful to see this kind of vid that’s put together sooo nice..thanks…

It would be cool if these bullet companies would put a plastic ballistic tip in these bullets .. Nice 'scope... looks to be a fixed power ('old school'). The real velocity is best taken at 100m (if you dare).

How long is the barrel on that Remington?

I used to load my 6.5 x 55 with a Sierra 120 gr Bullet. Cannot remember the powder but I was pushing the bullet between 3000-3100 ft per sec. Killed a hog at over 400 yards and woodchucks at 250 yards with Sierra 85 gr at 3600 ft per sec. ( Winchester Featherweight Model 70 )

Looks like the Ulfborg shooting range ?

For that leupold, do you recall what size optilock rings you used? Extra low, low, or medium?

Very nice rifle

That is a very nice rifle, the wood looks excellent. And the 6.5 X .55 Swede has taken a lot of deer where I am from, in Southeast Texas.

Since you own one, I would like to learn your take on Sako AV rifles. I just bought one in 30-06. Its serial # runs in the 617XXX like yours in 6.5 swede and the looks are exactly the same. Barrel length is 22.5"ish It is strictly New in Box with all the bells and whistles. I do not know what to do, if use it as a practical hunting rifle or sell it to someone else who will keep it pristine as a collector item.

Enjoyed the video, have a .222 TC Encore barrel. It is very accurate for small game and varmints. Take care 👍👍👍

Can I ask you the barrel length on that rifle? 570 mm?

Shoots better than my Sako heavy barrel 22PPC USA and you're using a bipod!! Well done.

Just got myself a new 222 Tikka T3x with sights. Please with the open sights for now. I will probably put one Arken on it too. Have an Arken SH4J, but it’s on my 25-06.

Om du ønsker tettere samlinger, ville jeg ha satt på et kikkertsikte med høyere forstørrelse, kanskje opp mot 24x

WHAT WAS THIS LOOK LIKE 100 METERS // ON END YOU TALK ABOUT TREES AND LIKE 300 OR A BIT LESS METER OR MORE TO TARGET / SO WHAT WAS DISTANCE YOU FIRED AT TARGETS

Congratulations on the gorgeous Ruger #1 setup. The wood grained stock looks fantastic and the classic Leupold gloss scope is a fitting touch. What you say about recoil is absolutely correct. My 300 Win Mag flinch really messed me up for several months. It even impacted shooting lighter recoiling rifles. My flinch is gone and so is the 300 Win Mag! Thank you for the great content.

You sure seem to be struggling with getting your rifle sighted in. Boresight through the bore, fire one, dial the crosshairs to the bullet hole, fire a group, fine tune the crosshairs to the center of the group. It really is that easy and saves ya money to boot.

Nice scope & video. Our weather in north eastern California looks like yours. Currently about 20 degrees F here. I don’t know how that equates to Celsius 😂. 222 is my favorite caliber. Have had one since 72’. No fancy optics though. Fiberglass stock and Canjar trigger helped the 788 Rem. Shoots really well for a 100$ rifle in 72’. I used to use a Lyman All American 10x fine crosshair scope but in 88’ put a Leupold M8 12x on it. Took me awhile to judge distance and holdover after I shot the 10x for so long. I usually sight in at 100 yards about 1.5” high. Hold a little low at 100 a little high at 300 😂. Old school guy here the 10x is on my 17 Rem now. I also have a 204 Ruger, 22-250 and 244 Rem custom but the 222 will always be my #1

Whats this cost ? Looking at buying one ...

Do many Norwegians hunt with a krag jorgensson?

nice video. what is the twist rate for that Sako?

Would you consider threading and suppressing your sako?
