I would personally buy it for that price if it is very good Shape. 222 is getting scarcer but still viable and plenty of new brass and bullets available that can be loaded for extreme accuracy if you reload..and.222 was a tack driver and a 788 was not a bad rifle ! In its used form, the 788 retains a strong following amongst benchrest shooters and hunters alike for its low cost and accuracy.

788's are good rifles, typically very accurate.
