The rifle shoots pretty good. Targets are 10rd groups at 25 yds off a bag using a non-magnified red dot sight. The dot basically covers the target. On the left is CCI SV and the one on right is CCI Mini Mag, my “go to” rimfire ammo. At some point i will put a scope on it and shoot for groups. I...

Bummer.

The .338 looks like a Buck Rogers gun. You still got them?

@Shibadog i have a tensioned barrel on the MLR22 and it too is super accurate. It is aluminum wrapped not carbon but will shoot <0.5” groups at 40yds all day long off a bag. I have it sitting in an archangel stock.

@KillerFord1977 agreed. they are fun to shoot but become less economical when you start buying a lot of them! :ROFLMAO:

@Belt Fed I know. I specifically got a threaded barrel for a future suppressor. My PA exit plan/dream includes enough property to set up a 50yd rimfire range where I'd shoot suppressed and no one would even know.

@Belt Fed unfortunately, we cannot have suppressors. When i can escape this state i will put a can on it. Within 5-7 years i’ll be able to move out of NJ, most likely heading to PA. In the meantime i’m thinking of putting a comp on it. It looks “scarier” that way. 😁

@Retired Bum We don’t have any kids of our own and our friend’s kids are all grown. However, this will be a learning rifle for those that want try their hand at some shooting. There is an outside chance that i might get my wife out. If i do then this will be her rifle. I joined a private gun...

@BassCliff Yes. Yes it is. 😁

@Jester560 Thanks for the link. I will certainly consider them.

I wanted to build a budget range rifle fashioned after a steel challenge rifle. I had a stock laying around from an MLR22 which got the ball rolling. I picked up parts over time when it went on sale. I scored a Ruger threaded carbon fiber barrel. Then a BX trigger and stock Ruger bolt/charging...

At that point i wouldn't even bother with an AR.

Even if they are technically “legal” and not considered a pistol grip NJ is full of rabid anti-gunner DA’s just waiting for their chance to prosecute the evil gun people. They would twist the verbiage on the books more than a pretzel in order to make a point. It really is a bad state for gun owners.

Sweeet!

@BassCliff NJ has similar wording to that for defining and “assault weapon” but thumbhole stocks are not specifically mentioned. You never know in this state. I am building a “steel challenge” style rifle that will utilized a thumbhole stock, which would be no problem. However, I’m also using a...

Nope

Are thumbhole stocks considered a “pistol grip”? Seems to be a gray area. What are your thoughts?

I can attest to the fact that standards for college admission have slipped.

Fear… yeah, fear of missing out (FOMO). Somebody else may win the auction on gunbroker for whatever it is i’m lusting at at the moment. 🤣

Nope
