One of my fun target rifles is a 222 Remington 40 XBBR. I gave $295 for it new over 40 years ago. It was a real shooter then. It would shoot 5 shot groups of 3\8 inch at 100 yards. Now if they wont shoot under .2 at 100 yards I fix them. The last price I saw on the 222 was over $1000 and that was about 10 years ago. All little boys love the smell of burnt gun powder so go burn some. Be safe and have fun.

Sounds like a nice rifle. Since it's a custom job, I bet they are way over $1000 now... Can't wait to run a few rounds through this one and get her broke in...
