Custom varmint action

I was just wondering what custom actions you fellas like the most for a varmint/ coyote rig? I bought a rem 700 rifle and i may have it squared up or i may sell it and buy another stiller predator action, i just dont know. I was just curious as to what custom actions you guys like to use for your varmint rigs? Maybe a surgeon round action??? buying the pieces for a build is half the fun, dont you agree?? I want a nice 22-250AI varmint rig, or possably a 22BR?? Something in a fast twist 22cal. This is for fun, not necessarily looking for advise. Thanks fellas! Lee
 
hey lee, if you want to sell it send me an email. I think the predator actions are very common on varmint guns. That surgeon action would be great, but you could also go with pierce actions that are great. He also makes bottom metal.
 
Lee,
I have had no problems with my Pierce short action with .378 boltface. Drops in and bolts up to any Remington stock without a lot of work or the wait of a custom stock with special inletting. Remington parts are pretty inexpensive east to get so it has been good for me. Just my two cents.

The pierce actions do look pretty impressive. does anyone know how the lead times are? I will call Mr pierce on Monday. Lee
 
Lee,

Having your 700 action worked over by a good gunsmith and maybe a Jewell trigger and a good bbl might serve you very well for a great shooting varmint rifle. I did that with a 700 and went with a 1:8 PacNor in 22-250 shooting 75&80gr bullets. Bbl life was short and never was real happy with accuracy. Set back to 22br and it is great even with a little less velocity shooting 82gr Bergers @3050fps. Has won a couple 300yd varmint shoots against some custom actions. Feel free to pm.

how did the little 22br cases feed from the box mag? i had a stiller set up pretty much the same way in a 6br and it feed real nice. i had to shorten the box mag up a bit. im sure the 22br is the same way? lee
 
Lee,

I had mine set up as a single shot so I don't have an answer for you. I will use it for pd's so a single shot will be fine.
