Lol, why? It's the socialist-friendly version from Europe to appease those who actively engage in fear mongering against military calibers... even though the .222 caliber is almost the same as its' military counterpart.
Luckily, in Canada we can have the 5.56 NATO version (.223 rem). Besides, even if you'd *maybe* buy one, importing guns in weird calibers (when also available in cheap & widely available common calibers) wouldn't sell well in Canada. You must be the first person on CGN actually interested in buying one.
.222 is for specific markets only... it's for those gun owners who can't have .223 thanks to having commies running their poor-ass countries. Smart move on CSA's part to corner the market like that, but luckily not very useful to us.
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing." - Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426.

I just don't see the purpose of a .222.

Hi there. I was asking since I seen on the VZ website that it was manufactured and available on the market. It was listed as a chambering in the Vz 58 sporter, just asking that is all as I wanted to know if these were available in Canada. No worries hey it is just a question easy enough disregard or answer if you will. As a option available to Non restricted buyers it is fortunate that these guns can be bought and I am considering options in the chambering. Thanks again and kind regards.
I'm not trying to be a jerk here but why would .222 interest you when the .223 will do everything the .222 does and more and ammo, reloading components and equipment for the .223 are so much more available. Just askin'.
Zzzzz

No harm in having a semi-auto in .222 Remington. Ruger had this available once for the Mini-14 and it had a reputation for better accuracy than the more popular .223.
The lack of surplus ammunition just might lead to the shooter striving for better accuracy and fewer expended rounds shot in a spray&pray attitude 'just because' one can do so cheaply.
Certainly the varmints down range will not be able to tell the difference between a 222 or 223 strike.
Try to think before you speak or type, because the internet has a long memory.
Ahem......no the .222 was created well before the .223 by Remington's Mike Walker along with the Model 722 bolt action rifle in the early 1950s. A few years later during small arms trials an American general wanted the .222 Remington to be able to penetrate a US steel helmet @500 yards. The powder charge had to be increased to do this......hence the .222 Remington Special (.223) was born.
The use of the .222 in semi-auto rifles overseas was well after this fact.

What a crock. The 222 Remington was developed by Mike Walker of Remington Arms. Introduced in 1950, it was designed for varmint shooting but soon was adopted by bench reas shooters.
It is an inherently accurate cartridge as is the 308 Win.
Hardly created for shooters in modern times where civilians can't have a 223.
Where on earth did you get that information?
