What generosity! A family friend I didn't know well gave me this lovely high-comb L461 Vixen deluxe in .222Rem. It's topped with a 6x Swarovski steel-tube scope of the same era (80's).
Target pictured is increased loads behind a 50gr V-max in Win cases, started with fouler top left target high shot, then 3 shot groups at 100yds. Started with 23.3gr Win 748, top left - top right - center - bottom left with increases of 0.3gr. Final load 24.2. No need to go any higher, rabbits watch out! Seated 0.3 off lands.
Only factor with these guns is the finish is very brittle; can't throw this one in the back of the ute! (pick up truck for US!). High comb can catch cleaning rod and get chipped.
