I have a hankering for top end 22lr 's
It's not an addiction yet 🤔 I dont believe. Need knowledge, use opinions, quality of the following 2 guns.

Remington Arms 547 custom shop
Weatherby xxii Anschutz 64 build.
 
True that but, their raw butt ugly their tactical ? I Guess I could get a sporter barreled action , give the folks at Calico a call for wood and build it myself. Im very limited on time though, and I like nostalgia and fine hand craftsmanship. The big mag might look alittle funky hanging out of a piece of AAA Carlo walnut? 🦄 like a pony with pink hair.

I don't know what the current status is for the Rem custom shop in Sturgis after the bankruptcy.

I haven't even seen a 547 in the wild. Have a 504T. Which is similar but not a true custom shop gun. A chassis 547 would be interesting with a custom barrel.

If you want to know about 547's.....RFC is the place. They have antire pinned post on it. Snipershide.com is about ugly guns that actually do stuff.
 
Anschutz 1712 barreled action and a custom stock will get it done for you.

And ain't it the truth. Take a superb idea with outstanding execution of the action itself and then hang a 5 lb bugger off its bottom. The whole idea of the quadruple sized mag is like a Dodge pickup grill grafted onto the front of a Ferrari.

Jbell those are some SWEET Meister grade guns ! Think I got it worked out though. I found some Exhibition grade blanks today pretty reasonable , have it 99% shaped and inletted , put some A.O. Niedner grip and butt steel on it. Make or modify a standard mag where it will be right at flush put a blued med heavy Shilen on the RimX and drop her in ! Mise well put inlayed sling swivels in there to .
 
Found a beater 1712 you might want Jbell !

This thread is starting to turn into rimfire porn, not that I am opposed to that by any means... just saying
 
All of those pictures are Anschutz that were stocked by Canyon Creek even the North American Dealer guns they start at $ ? ,000.00 up you won't believe its CHARMIN price.
 
@jbell do you have any Fortner action rifles? They are really starting to call my name.....
 
I don't, I have shot a few and while they are cool I prefer a turn bolt action.

That will be its winter coat, for tree rats and vermin. Then the spring and summer is a chassis.
 
@Rimdenter This is one of @rth1800 52 sporters. If you look at the other pics of his 52s it is evident that this one is a complete custom and absolutely stunning. If the rifle was built by one 'smith the guy's skills are over the top. The reason I posted it is the treatment of the magazine.

I've seen other pics of this gun and it appears the bottom metal suggests a "drop magazine" in the sense of a H&H heavy rife. In all probability the floorplate drops to expose a 52 five round mag.https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/winchester-52s.7040122/page-2

The craftsmen ship is STELLER ! I love hand fitted guns there's alittle pride and care involved !
 
Just got through with rough / finish machineing and checkering of my skeletal butt plate. This will be final polished and fitted to the RIMX Winter coat ! Done in a Turnbull finish !

I'm all about exotic wood, but if it isn't a tactical stock like an A5 or MCS T2 style, it feels like a complete waste of good wood.
 
Here's a real hunk of shit. 🤣🤣
Great shop to deal with.

Wood and tactical? To each their own but I am just not seeing it. Build your tactical stuff out of aluminum and plastic and beat the shit out of them and leave the beautiful wood for beautiful rifles.

Just reminds me of outdated products. I don't shoot from a bench, so these stocks don't present any kind of comfortability of use.

It's because I'm young maybe?

Maybe... Might be you have no appreciation for the finer things in life? Might be because as a young person you have yet to learn beauty? Might be because you are simply a dumbass?

I just don't know the answer....:cool:

Ok shit for brains. I have plenty of appreciation for wenge, black limba, birdseye, ebony, purpleheart and you wouldn't know a good piece of wood if I fucked your mother with it. Go shoot your leupold and take your metamucil.
