How about a factory sporter class. That would be 90 percent of the .222s in existence. Factory action, barrel and stock.
That leaves me out because nobody makes 222s. So I had to buy a Tikka in 223 and rebarrel it. And I went with a manners stock.

Anyway, I’m in even if it’s just to get obliterated by benchrest guns. I had someone on the line at the club call my gun a “benchrest” gun because I used a front rest and my groups were mostly one hole. Needless to say we don’t see any true benchrest shooters at that range.
 
New stock AND barrel, you have a custom rifle. If it's a very good barrel, there is no time limit, just don't let a sporter barrel get hot. If I don't equal some of the factory varmint rifles I will be disappointed.

Savage still makes 222Rems starting around $700. Howa makes from time to time. Blaser also @$7000+. l got mine strait from Cooper a few yrs back when they sold thru Varmint Hunter magazine.. GunsAmerica has a quite a few listed and GunBroken too
 
My targets got here today also. Got to get a scope on the cooper and start load development. I’ve never shot it yet.
Thanks again
