I have $1,200 - Help me build a tack-driving 10/22,,,

[Glocktogo]

Thanks for the barrel recommendation,,,
I have found their website and have bookmarked it.

I may be wrong about this,,,
But barrels with a "match" chamber,,,
Need to run high-quality match ammunition?

That's the reason I was going with a Shaw barrel,,,
They claim their chambers are sized to accept more common ammo.

For what it's worth the Shaw barrel also has a Bentz chamber,,,
Supposedly (from internet research) it's tighter than a "sporter" chamber,,,
But slightly looser than a "Match" chamber which allows the use of more common ammo.

I do know this about my friend,,,
He will never spend the money for match ammo.

He shoots CCI-SV almost exclusively,,,
Only going to bulk ammo to feed his kids single-shots while plinking.

Again, thanks for the recommendation.

The Bentz chamber is a good compromise for a tack driver that's still reliable enough for field work. The big issue with non-match grade .22 ammo (besides the lack of Eley priming) is the bullet. They're not very uniform and sometimes they'll hang up in a match chamber. That can be fixed by running them through a Waltz die or Paco Acu'Rzr tool, but that costs money and time.

Thanks Glocktogo,,,
That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

This thread got me looking into building a straight pull Volquartsen Summit 10/22 bolt gun. Anyone have one?

Wow,,,
What a concept?

Is that the same action as used in rifles made for the Olympics?

That design has been around for many years. The competition Benchrest guys have not flocked to it because they have been known to have some cycling issues but volquartsen is known for their customer service and will work with you if you have any issues. It's hard to bet their guns or their quality.

The Hunter/Sporter build for my friend has started,,,
At least I started spending money on it,

This morning I put the Magpul MOE stock, the Shaw 18" barrel,,,
And three factory 10-round rotary magazines on order.

The Complete receiver will be on order tomorrow morning,,,
I have the Vortex 2-8x32 scope and Weaver rings sitting on my bench.

The Shaw website said there is a 7-day delay for the barrel,,,
And who knows how long the rest will take to get here.

Anyways, since hard money has been spent,,,
It's no longer a theoretical project.

It took a while to decide just what rifle to build,,,
But I believe I've struck a good scheme.

It's going to be a fun experience.

I'm playing pool and having a few brews with him tonight,,,
It's going to take self control to not spill the beans.
