22 Arc

[HagBrew]

Wanting to buy/build one and I'm not your ar style guy so i want a bolt action. Any recommendations? Also what type of suppressor is ran on this type of round?

I like your style! - starting off - you will need a .445" boltface ( same as a Grendel ) action. Aero Precision Solus ( .445" not out yet but coming ), Zermatt Arms Origin, ARC CDG actions come immediately to mind.
Any .22 centerfire suppressor will work.
Have fun.

.378 Bolt Face can be opened up with ease by any competent smith.

I bought a Howa mini barreled action in 6mm ARC and have a McGowen barrel on order (couldn’t get the factory pencil barrel to shoot to my standards). The Howa mini is great for all AR-length rounds. Wish it took non-proprietary mags however.

The Ruger American is supposed to come out in 22ARC soon, and takes AR mags.

Otherwise anything made for the Grendel will work with a 22ARC barrel.

Could go the savage route. I have been thinking about 6arc bolt gun for awhile. The Howa mini makes the most sense to me mainly because if I'm going to use a standard short action might as well be a 6 creed.

Do you have any specific requirements or applications in mind? Do you have a budget that you're trying to stay within? I've day dreamed about building a custom bolt action rifle for more years than I care to admit. I sat down last year and priced the individual pieces. Regardless of caliber, and trying to only spend money where it could make a difference, my price tag was in the $3k to $3,500 range. A big part of the cost is driven by the fact that I want to use a Rem 700 clone action so that I can use a good 2 stage trigger. If I went with a Savage, the price was quite a bit less but I gave up the ability to have a 2 stage trigger.

The Rugers have been out for awhile. I saw one at sportsmans 3 or 4 months ago.

I think I'll get a Howa Mini heavy barrel when they're available. Hopefully they offer it with the walnut stock.

I run Zermatt origins/SR3s in 10 rifles and swap barrels frequently depending on bench, big game hunting and varminting…

I just got my 22 ARC 22” 7T Shilen barrel this week from James at Northland Shooters (using the ARC/PPC)… it was dark last night so only got to shoot 30 factory eld 75 gr rounds. I’ll work on handloads this weekend, but it was shooting sub .5 minute (couple @ .1/3 or less) at 100 yards last night after I got the first 10 or so down the tube.

I’ve got a friend that has the Ruger gen 2 and his is shooting real good for him with 62 eld-VTs the new hornady bullets and CFE223. He’s an older gentleman so his standard of accuracy isn’t what it used to be but he’s still getting 3/8-3/4 MOA at 100 yards… in a factory rifle loaded to mag length.

As far as suppressor goes anything will work fine I’m sure. I really like my otter creek hydrogen S but that’s all preference.
