Been thinking that I need another .22, guess it’s just that time of year. I was thinking about using “stovepipe” in the back of the safe as a base for a simple shooter, for subsonic backyard and hunting work. I have a 10/17 and a MK2 FV in .17hm2, so the supersonic hunting accuracy need is not there. I’m looking, either way, at a Boyds Evo SS stock, in grey for a blued barrel, or blue for a stainless model. Scope has been decided for now as the extra CP 4-16x40 I have. I hope to have a can when I can get back to the states and get paperwork started, hence the threaded barrel, and the for $25 more barrel setback from Que/CPC.
Price wise, this is where I am at
10/22
Brimstone trigger job $70
Bolt buffer - already have it
Que/CPC bolt work $35 to 50
Barrel, ($80-infinity) or CPC/Que barrel setback and threaded $75-110
20 moa base - $40
or
Savage FV-SR - $217 from CTD
DIP stock stuff - $46
DIP 25 MOA base - already have
I know that the bolt-action will be quieter than a moving semi-auto action, but I think it might be more fun for other shooters with the semi-auto.
Second, what ammo should I be looking into? It seems that most ammo is very scarce right now, but my father goes to gun shows and might be able to snag some if necessary. I have been looking and reading about the CCI SV, CCI segmented hollow point, and Winchester Super-X, and they seem to be good from most accounts. The Remington subs and CCI subsonics seem to be on the opposite end? Without getting it $8-10 per 50, what should I be looking at? Again, ultimate accuracy isn't the object, as much as decent accuracy for the price for plinking, and accurate and deadly for hunting/pesting.
