Remington 799 222 Remington 20 inch + ammo

trevi · Feb 4, 2020

This is a special rifle to me mainly because of the cartridge. I have made the most game kills with it from turkey, rabbit, groundhogs and to whitetails in Penn. I was amazed by its performance on whitetails!
I bought it new as a novelty and because of its weight, light weight in comparison to the other rifles. Barrel length is 20 inches. I wish I bought the 223 Remington version.
As you can see in the pics the stock is a bit rough but the rifle blueing is still good except for two places as pictured.
I would not mind keeping the gun but I cannot figure out what game I can safely harvest on the west coast.
The exact round count will be added later once i find my once-fired brass, and I have 10 boxes of factory ammo to sell with this. Scope is a Simmons and an extra $25.00.

Partial trade on ammo: 6.5 Swede, 9.3x62 Mauser, 44 mag, 454 Casull, 9mm 357 SIG.....

Buyer pays transfer/ shipping.

Found my live ammo. There are 9 boxes: The Remington has 17 of 20 rounds remaining. The other eight PPU brand boxes are full. 177 live rounds.

This photo shows all the rounds I fired, this is the once fired brass. 103 rounds fired. It likes the PPU brand better.

Hello all. Went shooting today and thought I could share some results. I shoot at the Triangle Pit near Olympia, so if you have been there, perhaps you know what it is like. I like it most days. Today was windy at the late hours I was there so my shots hit a bit left. On the flattest part before the hill backstop, I estimate to be about 70 yards, so that is my range. The pics are in order to when I starting shooting. I only made adjustments for elevation of about 3.5 inches to get POIs. I do not bench rest shoot, I have a rest for the forestock and the butt rest against my shoulder, not the steadiest rest but works for me when I hunt. Back when I was able to put this on a shooting vise, it shot quarter size groups. Today I was able to somewhat duplicate that but the wind and shooting the 9.3 Mauser in between made my shoulder sore and thus muscle quiver. The scope is nothing fancy but it works.
