Anybody built a 1022 lately for competing in NRL22 or MARS. I’d like to get my feet wet in shooting competitively and I think some of the rimfire matches may be my best route.
I’m guessing building or buying a bolt gun would be the right way to do it but since I already have a 1022 sitting in a houge stock with a match grade bull barrel that shoots pretty well I would rather not drop a whole lot of coin only to find out I really suck at shooting. I have the space in my back yard to set up a practice range but I at least want my rifle to be somewhat up to snuff. I understand ammo will be a big part of it too but I’ll cross that bridge when I get the rifle right.
My rifle has a stock trigger in the older metal trigger housing so I’m hoping to just do all the trigger parts instead of a whole new drop in housing.
I plan on running a Burris xtr 2 5-25x50 scavenged from my AR 308 until I can afford some decent glass that will be dedicated to the rimfire rifle.
I’m going to drop the houge stock for a victors titan and run the barrel I have for now.
Anything else That would improve the rifle for competition?
Thank you.
