Now this is a historically important caliber you don't see very often- can you guess?

Don't see these often. .223 on the left for comparison

Who can guess. It will probably go quick.

I wonder why the guy left two live ones?

.222 Remington? I have a 14" Contender barrel with a 7X Burris scope in that caliber. Seen a few rifles that required some effort to shoot as well.

yep

important round, but a rare modern chambering

I had a Colt Sporter AR chambered in .222 Rem in the mid 2000s. Wish I still had it.

I have a Remington 788 chambered for .22-250 that shoots as well as any rifle I've ever seen in that chambering, and better than most of them.

Quite a few years ago there was a 788 in .222 Remington in the classifieds here for a great price. But at the time I was a little poor and couldn't hop on it. If there is a gun out there I regretted missing out on more than any other it's that one.

Once during an ammo shortage I accidentally bought a few boxes of .222 from a store like an idiot thinking it was .223…. Oops lol. Took me awhile to get rid of them. Learned a lesson about thoroughly reading ammo boxes
