222 small gun

[Claybuster]

The requirements I have are:
Short action (small), and gun scaled to the size of the small action
222
No sights preferably a heavy barrel, again scaled to proportions of the action (so this would be somewhere between a standard and heavy barrel weight)
Clip feed
Simple understated look and feel, but quality (like sako)
As accurate as possible
Who might have something like this to carress in a shop in the Kingston, ON area (Ott, Tor)
Are the Sako vixens scaled to the small actions, I want a 222 that feels like 22mag in a good quality gun.

Another possibility is a rebarreled action to meet the heavy barrel idea, but I prefer the price and simplicity of off the rack.

Any ideas.

Sako made the Model 75 Varmint in .222 although I don't know how available they are. They are more common in .223 Remington.

The Model 75 is on a scaled action and has a detachable magazine. I have a 75 Hunter in .223 and it's a delightful little rifle and very accurate. Definitely a keeper.

I've also owned a CZ527. I couldn't get the single set trigger working properly, the magazines were very sharp and hard on brass, and the safety operated in reverse to every other rifle I owned. It was a light and reasonably accurate rifle but not in the same league as the Sako.

After looking around for some guns online I don't think I'm looking for detach mag, but I can't find a good photo of what I'm looking for. I guess I'm just gonna have to go to more gunshops, and gun shows over the next year or so to figure out exactly what it was that I'm looking for. I guess Browning used this same action years ago for a time?

Time well wasted as they say.
