for-sale Highly Custom 10/22 - You won't see this a lot.

[Hozzie]

So some know I am heavily into 22 Benchrest.  I also do most of my own barrel work, etc on my guns.  I won a Douglas barrel blank at a match and it isn't what I normally use on my competition guns, so I decided to make a customized 10/22 since I had one laying around.  Actually, this has zero Ruger 10/22 parts.  The only part I used from the donor gun was the action and it was from a T/C22 which is just a Ruger clone, but I liked it as it had the pic rail built in.  Anyway, here is the rest of the story.

Receiver was internally threaded to 3/4-16 so that the barrel would mount like my other custom BR actions.  I threaded and chambered the .920 Douglas Barrel to fit and chambered it based on being in the 10/22 platform which basically means it has to be a little larger chamber with more taper for feeding.  This is still way tighter than a factory chamber, even a Bentz. I purposely did not go too loose as this is built for accuracy and precision which it is does very good at.  What this means is that it can be a bit finicky with certain ammo's and feeding.  I only use SK or better (Lapua normally) and it runs pretty good.  It may take some trial and error to see what ammo you have that it likes.  This is a bench gun, not a walking around gun as the barrel is pretty long and heavy.

It has a Kidd Bolt, springs, and 3oz/3oz trigger.  It also has their rear action mount that creates a second action screw into the stock.  The stock has been inletted and bedded to fit.  The stock is a Boyd's At-One.  

The scope on it is not priced with it.   

Price is $1000.  As I got the barrel for free and did all of the work, just the parts are worth more than this.  So why am I selling?  I'm just not a 10/22 guy.  If you like 10/22's and accuracy, this is a pretty good opportunity to pick up something that will outshoot most factory bolt actions with ease.

Pickup in Franklin, Columbia, or Murfreesboro areas as I am in between all three.

Any questions, just let me know.
