Happy New Year – 2022 the Official Year of the 22LR

[6brbb]

Given the New Year starts here first (New Zealand) I thought I would put this out there. Have a good one every one!
Do share your Rimfire plans for 2022.



Myself I’m planning two new .22 projects, a Walther KK500 and a Vudoo V22s.

Not a really big .22 project, but I have my .22 Ruger 77/22 right now at my gunsmiths having the action bedded and the barrel free floated. It has a Hart barrel on it that I had on another .22 Ruger from the late 1980's.

This Ruger being bedded and floated shot ok but I'm hoping the bedding and floating the barrel with help it to shoot better. Time will tell.

I have an Anschutz on the way to add to .22 collection. I have a new scope, rings and bore guide coming as well. Hope it shoots as good as my CZ.

Am going to finally barrel a VGW Three-60 action that's been sitting in the safe since May 2021. Not sure which bbl blank I'll use - Krieger sendero, Shilen ratchet R5, R0, or Benchmark 3-groove R5. There's a Manners PRS1T stock, TT Diamond trigger, Hawkins DBM, and Athlon Gen 2 Cronus 4.5-29x56 & rings, all ready to go together as soon as the barrel work & CeraKote is done.

Will also barrel my 2nd V-22S, this one to go into a Doan Trevor prone stock in English walnut that should be finished by late spring/early summer. Also need to make the decision on which bbl brand & contour to use here - may try to find a Shilen #5 ratchet for it.

Then there are a couple of Green Mountain 1.20" straight blanks that John at Keystone Accuracy turned down to his Palma sport contour - I had him turn & thread one for a Rim-X action, the other is contoured only, so it can be used on whichever action, whether I decide to keep it for my own use, or sell to a customer.

Now that I'm finally healthy, once I get my finances straightened out, I'm purchasing a free pistol this year. and maybe a pardini bullseye pistol.
