Extremely light but hyper accurate 22lr rifle

I have moved away from most all precision centerfire and rimfire rifle stuff lately. I sold everything but my last V-22 to fund a house build and completely get out of debt. My goal in my new life is going to be more hunting, fishing, and outdoor activities. I will be building an accurate but light centerfire to bang steel and hunt with once the funds are available, I already know what I want there (well it’s down to 2-3 options). However I am struggling to come up with a rimfire to match it.

So I thought it may be an interesting conversation with the rimfire crowd here on the Hide. As of right now the slate is completely clean and I am open to anything. Some criteria I would like are:
-magazine fed
-scoped
-accurate (something capable of 1/2 MOA @ 50 yards / 1-1.25 MOA @ 100 yards is ideal, but it must me sub MOA at 50 which should not be a problem)
-prefer a 2 stage trigger but that isn’t a deal breaker, it just has to be very clean and crisp
-threaded for a suppressor
-not crazy expensive

I am open to both bolt action which I prefer or semi auto. I have been leaning to building a 10/22. I have built a few that were surprisingly accurate. Anyway, let’s hear it guys…

Kelby Atlas Tactical Issue - Excessive Cock On Close

I purchased a Kelby Atlas Tactical SA barreled action from Preferred Barrel Blanks with their CF wrapped heavy palma barrel, 24” 6.5 PRC. This Atlas has trigger pins instead of a hanger. Installed a Huber Concepts 2 stage trigger, and am experiencing excessive cock on close, I think. I called Kelbly and they told me it’s the trigger that’s the problem and to contact Huber. Huber had me send the trigger back in and called me and told me that it measures perfectly in spec. I measured total pin fall and cock on close. My measurements are 0.208 fall from shroud to pin in the fired position, plus 0.088 protrusion from shroud to pin in the cocked position. I also measured the protrusion with bolt open just engaging the lug raceway, and got 0.055, therefore from open to closed in getting 0.033” cock on close, and total pin fall is 0.296, Kelby said the max they want to see is 0.275 of pin fall, or could have issues with pierced primers on hot loads. Huber says if he takes 0.021 off his trigger it will give me 0.012 cock on close which he said is what he likes, but it will make his trigger fall out of normal Remington trigger spec. He said he would dress it but that Kelbly probably needs to change or dress their cocking piece. Other part of this puzzle is Preferred stated the bolt was not matched to the action. I don’t know much about trigger timing but I know my measurements are accurate. What are my options here? What should pin fall be max and min? What should target be for cock on close? Should I have trigger adjusted all the way or should I get Kelly to time it? Is this something I can do myself? I run a machine shop so I potentially can do what’s needed I just don’t know what’s needed.

Thanks

Accuracy International - Alternative Barrel Clamp Torque Specs?

Was talking to a friend who has many more years experience than I with the Accuracy International AT308, and he and his department run Hornady TAP ELD Precision 168gr exclusively as a SWAT Sniper. While I've had a hard time getting this ammo to group tightly despite its superior ballistics on paper, he and his guys are getting notably better accuracy and precision with it, from the Lothar-Walther 1:12 20/24 inch barrel. The difference is, I'm torqued to 49 inch/lbs, while he and his guys are at 55 inch lbs, so 6 in/lbs over factory spec.

Is this common? Have folks here played with different torque specs for the barrel clamp screw? And, what grease if any are you guys putting on your barrel threads before screwing and clamping it in?

Dimensions Needed- Scoping Remington Model 37

Trying to get a scope rail for a Remington Model 37 that I'm not in possession of. I'm hoping one of you guys has one you can measure, or knows of a dimensional print of the action with location of the barrel mounts relative to the factory butt. Would also be interested in the height of the barrel blocks relative to the action.
Longer version of the story is- Older friend of mine has a 37 he used to shoot competitively many years ago. While I've know him since I was a kid, by the time i developed an interest in small bore shooting he was too shaky to shoot it anymore. I've known about the rifle and how important it was to him for years, but have never had it out at the range with him. He's on his way out of this world and I'd like to try to get him and this gun out together one more time before he dies.
Currently missing it's iron sights, and not drilled and tapped for bases. It does have the original barrel mounted blocks, but it's far more practical to try to mount a modern optic that he or I already have than buy a Unertl for it. I'm looking at the BKL-254 or EGW Win 52 mount, both of which I've seen recommended for this purpose. The other option I'm interested in is the BKL 3/8 to Weaver adapter which like the EGW base would give me a little room to move the position, and use newer bigger diameter scopes. I'd like the measurements so I can see what I have in the way of scopes/eye relief to try to put a workable combination together. If anyone has a 513T as well and could compare the two even better. I have one of them and could use it to mock up the layout. I'm open to suggestions on how best to get this back on the range if anyone knows of another option.
Thanks in advance
