Are you looking for a custom rifle or a factory rifle? . I have a bolt action 22 ARC with Zermatt Ams action and a short free bore Patriot Vally Arms barrel . It is a shooter!!!!
Working on a Howa 22 ARC mini action rifle with carbon fiber barrel. Came with the wrong stock, barrel touches stock all the way down for-end, haven't shot it yet.

I bought a Howa mini in 22 Arc. I liked the gun because it had much of what I wanted. Weight 6lbs, the barrel is threaded 1/2x28 and it has a dbm. I am going to replace the trigger as they have issues with them. It shoots less than moa with most of what I have shot but does not like the 62 Eld-vt bullets.

I chambered a Krieger 1-8tw #5 sporter in 22 Grinch for a Zermatt Origin almost 3yrs ago. The Grinch is an improved 22 Grendel, similar to a 6 RAT, but with 22 cal neck. At the same time, I did a #3 Bartlein 1-6.8tw in 22 Grinch for a Howa Mini action. I used MDT 6ARC magazines in the Origin, which are very reliable, but had feeding problems in the Howa Mini using the factory plastic mags, and wound up going with CZ527 6.5 Grendel mags in Jefferson Outdoors DBM, which feed smoothly. Happy with both rifles.

Reason I talk about the Grinch is that any bolt rifle configuration that works with the Grinch will work with either 22 Grendel or 22 ARC. I bought 22 ARC Starline brass to fire form into Grinch, and all I had to do to make it work was to run a carbide 22 expander mandrel into new cases, then lightly chamfer case mouths, and load 'em up.

ETA - When I needed to find some load data for the 22ARC while I was loading fire form ammo, I looked online, doing a search for 22ARC data, and found three pages from Hornady with data specifically for bolt rifles.

Gunsmith texted me a couple days ago telling me he had chambered mine and was verifying barrel length and thread pitch for the muzzle. I should be picking it up this weekend. I’ve never had a “heavy” rifle… all mine are fairly lightweight hunting rigs so I wanted a semi heavy target rifle steel banger that was cheap to reload for.

Build Specs:
Mack Bros SS EVO
Muellerworks M24 26” 1:7tw 5/8-24 thread
TT Rough Diamond
Manners PRS2 or KRG Bravo (haven’t decided which stock I’m going to put it in yet)
Leupold MK5 5-25

Might be shooting it this weekend.
Planning on shooting either 88, 80 or 75 ELDMs depending on which one shoots better
