Thinking 22rf build.....Crazy?

I think it was a good experience for me to build my 10/22. I had one plain jane 10/22 and now I feel like it is mine. Quite accurate to 50 yards. I use those free stamps you get from some charities as targets. If you aren't in a hurry, one can build one quite affordably. I scored the stock unfinished for $50. I got a Voquartzen trigger kit on sale from Midway. I later got the barrel from a closeout. Weaver/picatinney rail now resides and a better scope. It is a lot of fun. I finished the stock myself and it looks pretty good.

So many different ways to go! What's your budget for the setup? You wanna do the work all yourself or use a gunsmith?
If you like digging a hole, then pour money into it add gas, set on fire, after all burned up, cover hole with DRIT.
then welcome to the wonderful world of rimfire.
sorry, just had to say that,
i have enjoyed every second of it,
it is fun, but it also can make you pull out your hair,(in my case dont have much left)
OP what are you thinking about, action, barrel, stock, etc.
also how far (yards) do you want to play,
lot of great Gents here on the hide that can save you alot of money an headaches

garandman. that would be good thinking.
CZ 455 pt, change out barrel, ( by the way check out lilja group buy thread, wont beat that price )
i like DIP 20-25 MOA base,should get you out to 200yd easy, also (check out cz 455 mod thread) some great gents here wil help out i am sure.
i have just finished my sons cz455 build i must say turned out great, with help from jbell.bm11,justin, short bus, an others.
the hard part is the ammo, finding a good lot# of brand X that will shoot, but thats part of the fun.
hey were men (most of us) we like a good argument. like i have said before we all have what we think is right, dont think there is a wrong choise, but what works for you as far as scopes go, always looking for something diffirent LOL

All kidding aside, you won't regret it. Yoteman summed it up perfect. I just picked up a CZ 455 PT and really like it. It had bolt and trigger work already done and shoots great. I am taking part in the Lilja group buy and look forward to adding that and seeing how it shoots. I have a Nightforce 3.5-15 on it now, but only because it has not made it to my .308. The plan is to swap out the SS 5-20 which is on the .308 and put it on the CZ. at least that's the plan now. Anyway, go for it and then join us in the various rimfire challenges. Lots of fun.

How do you like that chassis?
Ben
solid chunk of aluminum with mounting holes and adjustment where you need it. need to get a more vertical AR15 grip.
wouldn't mind a vertical feature at the rear of the stock too.
and if anyone is mounting a SS on a 452 go a little higher on the rings. this one just clears.
I've got about $700, including the scope in each the 10/22's I built for my nephews, and they will both shoot a one hole five shot group at 25 yards. Something just a bit bigger at 50, I need to see if I can shoot sub moa at 100 now with them.
No offense Newshooter but they all shoot great at 25 yards. Let me know how they shoot at 200yds.
If I had custom gun money to spend I would buy an Anschutz and KNOW that I had a rifle that would outshoot an awful lot of custom rifles. The Germans know quite a lot about building a rimfire that will just flat out shoot. You can put a lot of money in a custom build, but at the end of the day it may not outshoot an out of the box Annie. If I had BIG custom money to spend I would probably buy a Sauer.

I've had great luck with the heavy fluted theaded barrel Savage bolt actions with the tactical bolt handles, $225 @ Sportsman outdoor warehouse. Bought a green stocked one at Dicks when they opened for $169 scoped with a cheap 3x9-40. My range is 65 yds using galv ductwork to stick the targets on & a 10 shot group I can't put my little finger thru. I'd start with one of these & put in a boyds stock & put a can on if legal in your state. Have a nice looking shooter for about $600. Just my opinion.
it has been said, by dfoosking&chikin, an said well
those 2 gents, know a lot more then most,(seen them all at there match)
plus they both have been there done that
now take the wisdom an run with it, or not,an travle down that road that most of us have
like i said in other post, there are a few that will help you save time an money,
it has been said so now OP up to you,
not putting anyone down here, but laying out the facts.
i also have a money pit (sons cz455) it shoot damm good out to 100yd,
but that is only half of range of TSC match
out of the box annie MPR 64 real hard to beat used $750 to 950.

CZ 455 Varmint Precision Trainer: CZ-USA -> CZ 455 Varmint Precision Trainer It comes in a Manners T4 stock and will likely shoot better than most of us. Shoot it for a while. Get a trigger job or drop in a Timney if necessary. If you find yourself wanting to sink more money into it, believe me I understand the compulsion. I don't own a single firearm that I haven't modified in some manner. Hell, my sons' Cricket got a trigger job and a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot. So if you decide you need a better barrel you can easily swap it out to a Lilja. Beyond that, you are in the realm of diminishing returns. For example, my 1022 with Green Mountain Barrel, some Volquartsen small parts, and it's current stock (about the 7th I've had it in) shoots well and I enjoy it, but I've sunk at least twice the money into it that I spent on my factory CZ 452 16" TB. And I shoot better with the CZ.
I just assembled the following setup:
CZ455 Varmint Precision Trainer
DIP 20MOA extended scope base
DIP adjustable sear
DIP trigger spring kit (used 2nd-lightest spring)
DIP aluminum magazine well
DIP extended magazine release
Take-off factory .17HMR barrel (I will keep the factory .22LR barrel and run this as a switch-barrel rig)
SWFA SS 3-15x42mm scope
Vortex (Seekins) low 30mm rings
On the to-do list is to install some flush cups, since I'm trying to migrate most of my slings to QD swivels.
