This is the 22BR I built

[hoz53]

The barrel was finished and had been shot so it took a little work to get it headspaced. The used barrel came with dies and fired brass so I had some to work with. I used a fired piece and my headspace gauges to fit my own barrel. I had to order a thicker than stock recoil lug and mill it down in thickness to get it to headspace properly.
Normally I'm a die hard Savage person but I have built a couple of Rem 700's and I'm kinda liking them for parts availability plus the Remage barrels are making it nice for headspacing, now if they just had "swappable" bolt heads!

im a remington guy until i get a Bat- ill tell ya some parts like the bolt stop and extractor r not so available.

Purchased a used Kreiger 1-12 twist barrel from a friend. Bought a new-in-the-box Rem 700 action from a member here and a new stock from Urban Rifleman. Put a Rifle Basix trigger in it and a Nightforce competition scope. Shooting Sierra 55gr Blitz Kings and VV N-135 powder at 28.7gr for velocity of 3464. For a used barrel it manages to shoot .290 groups at 200 yards. Going to stretch it out to 300 and see if it will hold that accuracy.

The yellow and black has always been my favorite

No, out of the box and built rifle with it. I only changed the trigger group.

Those later actions don't need a thing done to them to shoot small.

Nice work!

There are several guys around that can install a PTG Savage bolt head on a Remington bolt. Names escape me at the moment.

Whoo-Hoo it holds up at distance! Shot this 5 shot group at 300 yards last night. Only took 10 rounds and used 5 getting the scope close then managed this...
4 in one clover leaf measures .239 but the one i yanked pushes the group to a .694. This will be my match gun for our varmint shoot on the 25th, let's see if I choke...

Very nice job, is that rear bag the only one you have?

Yes, is it a "not so good" one? Took me forever to latch on to a great front rest at a decent price. Good used rear bags sell as fast as they post them....

Try some 40gr Nosler BTs and a case full of H4895 in it. You should get 4000+ fps or very close to it. I actually could get 4200fps but it was a little warm so I backed it down a little. I had a faster lot of H4895 so you may need to go with some H322, AA2015, or VV133 to get 4000 but terminal performance is eye opening. I could get 3800fps with the same powder and Speer 50gr TNTs. Terminal performance of either was eye opening. IMHO, the 22BR is the finest varmint cartridge ever designed. Thanks Jim Stekl.

Spectacular rifle. Having owned a 6BR and 20 BR I have always wanted a 22 BR! Lovely scope too. What reticle do you run in your NF Comp?

The 22BR is the kind of rifle you cannot have just one of,
My favorite caliber...it's short and sweet

Thanks for NOT putting one of those ugly "funked up" bolt handles on it. Nice rifle.
