Budget 22 WMR Target Rifle Project.....

Axxe55 · Jul 10, 2020

Normally, I wouldn't glass-bed a stock for a rimfire rifle, but in the quest for gaining any bit accuracy, this one will be glass-bedded.

Will it make a difference? I 'm not sure, but it I know it won't hurt the accuracy.

Emotional deformation and a peculiar oddness is becoming the rule of civility on these, oft emotionally corrupt, thread responses.

Things that should make the rational, amongst us, go WTF.

I hated the Boyds stock I bought. Very soft wood in the one I had. I like solid walnut though! Rheinland Arms stock (out of business I think). With the silencer on and some CCI standard velocity ammo it is mostly hammer fall and click and pfft. Very, very accurate too!

Most impressive.

Addendum.....odd that the poster's link was to an unrelated ebay URL.
Sorry.

It will if done right. I bedded a couple rimfires. Both with cheap synthetic stocks. No trigger work. Used J B Weld Steel Putty. Free floated the barrels too. Groups at 100 yards shrank by almost half.
Bed it.

Yep. You are a communist that proudly voted for communists in the last 3 presidential elections.
You literally voted for the scum that would load most most of the members of this board into boxcars and bragged about it.
I just want to make sure no one forgets what you are. You are also in a profession that is responsible for 3rd place in killing Americans.
Given your communist leanings............... I’ll just stop there.

I still have some Acra-Glass on my shelf that I can use. Plus, I am leaning towards going with a laminated stock for the project.

I decided to revisit this thread. Last night a good friend and I were talking about this rifle again, and I had sort of wanted to do an older rifle for this little project, and unless I just happen to luck into a decent older bolt action in 22 Mag. I think if I were to go ahead with getting a new rifle for the project, the Savage Model 93R FVSS is probably the leading contender for consideration, along with a Boyds laminated Pro Varmint in blackjack color.

I wanted to go just a little different than my Savage 93R17 which is a bit on the more conservative side with the nutmeg colored laminated stock. I want this rifle to stand out! I think with the stainless steel action and barrel, with the purple and grey colored stock, that will not be a problem!

Ooh have you considered .17 HMR?

JUST KIDDING

CZ457. Can swap barrels to other rimfire calibers; available in a variety of configurations.

I ended up with another 10/22 last year because I had a purple and gray CWP stock I acquired online for $20. I tried to find a stainless action 10/22, but I cheaped out on a used $150 blued model. If you have any girls in your family they will love it lol.

Some years ago, had you asked me to consider doing a rifle in purple, I might have asked you to leave the crack pipe alone!

That's a good looking rifle, and yes stainless would have looked better IMO too.

I've been thinking on this and doing some reading and I think your best bet would be pretty unorthodox.

Here is my suggestion. Get a bolt action with appropriate barrel length. Do whatever you want to accurate the action / stock.

Now for the hard part.

Shoot a bunch and save your brass.

Handload your .22 wmr cartridges.
Are .22 wmr round heeled like lr? Finding bullets and load data will be tough, but hammering out and cleaning the rims is possible, and repriming at home isn't to hard.

It seems like the problem with .22 wmr accuracy is loose tolerance across.manufactures of ammo and weapons. Non uniform cartridge dimensions and chambers across the board.

Fireforming your brass and working up a custom load might just solve a lot of the issues and get you to moa.

That's an awesome idea, but no way do I want to get that involved!

Might be above my pay grade.

If I didn't already have a 22lr and a 17 HMR, that would be a consideration.

Thats the budget way.

Otherwise you'll need to commission a rifle to be built with a chamber and twist rate for a specific factory load, probably an expensive load as well since you'd want the best most consistent ammo.

Alternatively go centerfire and check out a
.22 TCM

I had looked at that one a while back but it just didn't really interest me very much. Another one I looked at and did some research on was the 17 WSM, but I didn't see much advantage over the 17 HMR I already have for my purposes so I passed on it. IF, I did go to a different 17 caliber, I would go with a centerfire like the 17 Remington or the 17 Fireball.

Going with a 22 Mag is in some ways replacing something lacking in my collection and I just wanted a different project to work on as well.

I have way more guns than I would ever need, and more than enough to cover any needs I have for guns. The 22 Mag is just something I want and something I want to do.

Many times, people mean well, and make all sorts of suggestions and ideas, but I had already settled on the fact that this rifle will be a 22 Mag. Once I have it set in my mind what I want to do, I'm not easily swayed from that direction.
