22BR or Dasher gunsmith

[DanS]

I am thinking of having a 22BR or Dasher built in a sporter setup. #3 or 4 contour 22" long, 1-12 twist, repeater. I plan on using it for coyotes and occasionally little varmints. I don't see many gunsmiths with these reamers. And are they really that hard to get to feed, even with AICS mags?

Doesn't anyone here have a setup similar and can recommend a good gunsmith.

Mike Davis @Davis Custom Rifles built me a center-grip XP-100 chambered in 22BR. It shoots just as well as any bolt gun. I have killed a prairie dog @ 365 yds. with it. I highly recommend Mike.

@ab_bentley can help you out with the .22 Dasher. He's reported some remarkable performance out of his.

Just a thought, inform your builder what brand of brass you plan to use and if you want a "no turn" neck or not.

Jon Beanland builds a lot of 22 Dashers for coyote hunters.

+1 on Mike Davis, you won't go wrong with him, AND, if he tells you something it's that way!
I've got a half dozen rifles and barrels to prove it.....
Also you won't go wrong wanting to play with the 22br, all you need is a smaller neck bushing for your 6br Redding full length sizing die and a forty dollar Wilson seater and your in business. It will run with a 22-250 and will feed better with the 30° shoulder than the dasher. My experience anyway..

I HAVE BOTH DASHER AND 2 22BRS AND I ENJOY THE BR JUST AS WELL AS I DO THE DASHER WITH LESS BRASS PREP !

This is a very hard combination to get to feed 100%. Just be aware of this going in. One of my favorite rounds for coyote hunting and brass lasts forever. Good luck and have fun.
