Looks good Hoser. I've still got a picture somewhere you sent me of a big line of them at one of your matches.
I bet locally we have about a dozen of them.
I am still shooting all of mine.
The close one is an SBR. Stays folded up in the truck. Comes out for random varmints.

What does it cost to turn a 40X into a repeater? Don't need stock/chassis price included...just round about cost of a 40x barreled action and the gunsmith work to get it done.
What I saw on MCR website was less than $500 for a conversion into a repeater. The a barrel spin up was about $400.00
I bought my 40X Remington 722 of of here over a year ago. This is the transformation it has made since it went to the best in the business @jelrod1 of Modacam Custom Rifles. Him and Mike Bush were the front runners of this conversion with Mike's designs of a .22lr magazine on the AICS patterned. There are lots of details that go into a conversion like this and lots of hard work. MCR builds absolute hammers out of these platforms.
I was able to get a zero on match morning and dope to 200y with less than 50 rounds through the setup by me. I finished 9th on the day out of 19 and I can't complain about the rifles performance. No shooting for 3 months has put me behind the 8 ball per se.

Love mine. Can’t seem to find a pic, though. It used to live in an AICS chassis with a Lilia barrel and a Steiner 5-25. It’s on its way to the smith. My son has started shooting matches and I’m having the barrel shortened to 16” for him because he’s a vey small ten year old. Johnathan did mine as well. It’ll go in a carbon fiber chassis to try to keep the weight down. He can barely carry his current rifle.
I miss the days when the 40X mafia ruled the scene. You really had to work at it if you wanted to be in the club. Now any knucklehead can order up a Vudoo or whatever. I love my Vudoo, but it was cool seeing all the old 40X rifles on the line.
I’m gonna have to get my boy a “40X Mafia“ tee shirt or hat or something.

I'm gonna have to fine a 40X mafia Hat!!!
MDT HNT26 would be an awesome stock on that one.
Here's a pic of the "40X mafia" polishing their rifles. LOL
I started off building precision 22RF trainers by getting a Stiller 2500XR action, doing the machine work on my very 1st 22RF bbl (Krieger sendero blank), and putting it into a surplus Manners T4A stock leftover from EuroOptics' run of custom built "Ultimate Trainers" that they hired built for sale. I was really wanting one until I saw the price, which if IIRC was around $4300...after I choked on the price, I decided to build one myself, and so put one together and started shooting it in semi-local PRS-type 22RF matches. Really enjoyed the way it shot & functioned - everything but trying to hit the hidden magazine chute, which was out of sight up into the mag well. Hadn't any more than finished it when I found out about MIke's conversion to use his prototype V-22 mags, so sent off the CMP 40X in the photo with the Stiller to have Jonathan do the repeater conversion. When I got that action back from jelrod, I did a Benchmark 3-groove bbl for it, with the same EPS reamer I'd used on the 2500's Krieger, and put it into the B&C stock pictured. That rifle was an eye-opener - very good shooter, and a big improvement in quick 'n easy mag changes compared to the Stiller action.
I liked this 40X so much that I sold the 2500XR, and sent a CMP 40XB action off to jelrod for the same conversion, and then put a Krieger on it when it came back. It also went into a Manners T4A stock, with another Jewell HVR trigger, which I'd also used on the 1st 40X. These two rifles would've served me perfectly well for as long as I live, but when Mike & VGW brought out the Vudoo repeater, I had to have one, so sold the 40X and bought an action, which I built into my 1st V22, and still have it, along with the jelrod-converted 40XB.
