Happy Christmas.

We have a 22WMR. Testing showed the bolt to be a little heavy but it is easy to flute the sides and bring the weight down. I only ran Hornady ammunition and need to run a few thousand to verify everything is good but working from the 17 HMR the design is well proven.

What was a pleasant surprise was that the recoil arrangement did not require alteration. In effect it should be possible to run the 17 and the 22 off the same lower.

Barrels are from E.R. Shaw and I run a 12 twist with a standard chamber. Less than an 1" at 100 yards and good for cans at 200 with a 1-4x22 Bushnell.
