How ya liking that Ruger .22 lr? I’m still contemplating one in the future.

It's a .17HMR. In hindsight, I should have bought the .22LR but the .17 is fun to play with at 150-200 yards. That said, I do like the rifle for the $. Of course it has some of the same drawbacks as the centerfire RPR, but they are less pronounced in the rimfire. Bolt took some cycles to smooth out (it's a Ruger...).

The stock is plastic, right? What do you think of it?

You've got me thinking about some of my existing rifles that would transition to a chassis and benefit from it.

What ya stocking?

An oddball idea is a Winchester model 70 varmint barrel chambered in .222 Rem. I have two of them, identical. They are the heavy barrel variant with the HS Precision stock and I doubt there are too many model 70 chassis options anyway. I should probably just sell one and reinvest funds rather than mess with a great rifle.

In the Rem700 category, I have a .17 Rem and a 22-250 both currently sitting in the older (nice) Remington fiberglass stocks.

Also have a Ruger M77 in 22PPC that would do well in some sort of chassis but again I doubt there are many options for the M77.

All of these rifles are tack drivers so I doubt much accuracy improvement would be realized.

Probably limited on the Winchester M70 options. But, you never know. Same with the Ruger.

Sky is the limit on the Remingtons, though.

What is your big Ruger Precision Rifle chambered in?

Fishhead has one of the RPR in .22 mag and it's a tac driver. I keep waiting for him to leave it laying against something, but he is careful with it when I'm around.

Gotta get sneaky!

The RPR is 6mm CM. It's a quarter MOA shooter. Factory Hornady ammo shoots just as well as my reloads if not a tad better.

Yep, plastic. The stock and chassis are all one piece with a small piece where the bolt rides that's a separate piece - probably to account for different calibers / bolts. Of course the handguard is aluminum.

Stock is pretty rigid with no observable play in the adjustable LOP. Same for the cheek riser. You can bend it, but it definitely takes some effort and isn't something I'd expect in the field. But a caveman could do it...
