Triple-2 is sexy.

2 - 2 - 3 is mundane, boring, military, spartan, reminds me of a M16 ......................... etc

No real reason, I'm just very picky and eccentric!

But I also regard the .222 as too much gun for fox pelts, damage to rabbits, hares etc. So why increase the velocity and increase the damage? As for kangaroos, the .223 in my opinion is not enough gun, a .22/250 or .220 Swift or a .243 is much more ideal. So it is neither here nor there.

My .222 is also the first style model of the Remington 788, weighs a tonne, ugly as hell, but extemely accurate. Five shot groups in almost one bullet hole, when I used to be able to concentrate on pieces of paper.

Also m first rifle.

That may answer your question above too!
