It's possible it was a .17 that got put back where it shouldn't have been. The .22s were right next to the .17s.I didnt know remington had made a bolt action 22, besides the very expensive 40x, in many many years.
Just looked at it online. I like the looks and chassis-style setup of it, but the goofy cocking handle really bugs me. Reminds me of a Mosin.Check out the Crickett CPR. If he likes your PRS rig he'll love the CPR.
