It is a .22rf. I have probably posted pictures of it before, but I confess, I like to show it off. The action is a coil/leaf spring, thick-tang, large-shank, low wall probably made in the 1880s.

The barrel is a #2 full octagon that has been bored out to 0.60". Then a 17" Lilja barrel was installed as a liner. Because the last 11" is 0.60" of emptiness the rifle was a little muzzle light so I added a muzzleloading rib to it, which may not be functional beyond weight but it doesn't look too bad. The top flat has been matted like a shotgun rib.

The stock has 3/4 - 1" of cast off and is fairly fat and heavy.

From time to time, the stock hammer is swapped out for a titanium hammer that has much less than a 1/4" fall for speed locking.

The net result is a rifle that holds just about perfect for me in offhand (much to this squirrel's dismay and one of the two others too).

The rifle was built to be an offhand competition rifle first and foremost, but I have shot many 200 yds Schuetzen targets in the high 240s with it off the bench. I also use it in the .22 BPCR competitions that have become so popular. But nowhere do I like it more than in the squirrel woods.

The scope is a 4x Unertl small game scope. It comes and goes in exchange for a 10x Fecker or a 25x Lyman STS or an MVA B5. It wears tang sights for BPCR. Have a nickel plated small swiss butt plate for it when shooting Schuetzen.

It is my do-it-all rifle.
