I had a Sako 75 Lefthand in .222 that grouped real well. Also have one in .25-06 as my day to day deer hunting rifle. Shot a Sako 85 the other day in .204 Ruger and a modified Sako Finnfire .22LR, and both were better than the .222. I wish I had known a few weeks ago. You could have tried a .22 Magnum I had and sold to see what it was like.
