I built a .22RF clone of my .308 rifle so I could practice with the .22RF indoors and at reduced ranges.
At the top is my .308. I used a Remington 40X .22RF action to build the clone. Feel and balance is nearly identical.
I decided to use a SS 10X on the .22RF because it allows for shooting as close as 10-meters.

I’m putting together some ¼ scale military style steel silhouettes (E-Type & F-Type) to shoot. I just finished the laser cutting and will now make up the wickets. With these I’ll practice my ranging skills using the mil reticle, wind holds and sniper/spotter dialog. Besides it should be a hoot.
