Squeaky 135 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hi Folks: Just wanted to share a couple of pictures of my completed .22LR project rifle. Yes! I actually got a rifle built. It's motivation for my .308 project. Components are: 1) Boyd's 10/22 "Tacticool" stock 2) Green Mountain .920" diameter, 20" long heavy barrel 3) Tactical Innovations (?) ... not Tactical Solutions ... semi-auto "Elite 22" 10/22 receiver with integral scope rail 4) someone's tactical bolt handle (forgot who) 5) Caldwell 6" - 9" bipod 6) Forgive me for even mentioning it here on this fine forum .... a BSA 4-14x mil-mil scope. Hey ... it's just a .22. I figured a NightForce or Steiner scope would've been overkill. It is semi-automatic and accepts Ruger 25-round magazines. I bit the bullet and went ahead and had my local gunsmith put it all together to make sure it works. I like having a .22LR that looks like a sniper rifle! :-) Might actually splurge and get some Eley or Lapua .22LR ammo for this just to see how accurate it can be.

G O B 3,516 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 If you are having a 'smith build it, I would recommend bringing the 'smith in from the beginning. Use His expertise of what works, and where to source the components. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Not sure what you feel the need to apologize for... I've used BSA optics on my 10/22's for decades... Same scope on each one... 6-24X50, w/adjustable objectives... I've NEVER had any issues with any of them. Im not sure who you're thinking is reading these posts... But i can promise you, most likely NONE of them are thinking night force, or Steiner😅😂😅😂 Maybe if you've gotta shoot 1000 yards, and need repeatability in the adjustments of the optic... Then yes...nightforce is probably a good call... But anything less... You're jerking yourself off to pay for the name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I have BSA Sweet 22 scopes with interchangeable target turrets on every bench rest 22 I own. Terrific scopes and no apologies necessary. Sounds like a great rifle from the sound of the components used. Congratulations! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
