Model 70 action in 22?

[greyson]

Been looking. I guess the closest is the model 52? I see the Remington actions in 22. Is there an option for us fn spr guys?

Anybody have a modern setup on a 70 type action?

Regards,
Greyson

Kimber has a 22lr rifle that uses a claw style extractor. Its a micro mod 70 action, i guess.

Its the kimber, model 22.

That seems to be it. Thanks for the heads-up. I knew there had to be a 3-position .22LR option for me.

It's a great rifle greyson. A couple of guys shot their Kimber 82G's during the last four position league. I recently picked one up and am planning on shooting for the next league too.

it's a tac driving little rifle. they were built in Yonkers and they were a K. 22. I may stand to be corrected but Kimber got out of 22 rimfire rifle business. I was looking to get another one and they are a little bit hard to find. mine shoots .3's at 50 yards with junk ammo. the trigger is amazing right out of the box. mine was about 2.8Lbs

They made 1903s in 22 lr

A little about these guns i have had them. If you get one to rebuild you will be in the hole and it has to slow of a lock time
