Hear me out. I've been experimenting with the idea of taking a single shot 22lr (think something like a Savage MARK I FVT) and getting a faster twist bbl in 1:10 or even 1:7 twist to use with Cutting Edge Bullets (CuRx) 42gr and/or 50gr projectiles with an EC Tuner at the muzzle. Goal would primarily be for tight groups and taking out to ELR distances of 400 - 600 yards.
Haven't found a place that sells a 1:10 / 1:7 twist barrel for a Savage Mk1 yet, but the idea was having this be more of a fun plinking project. Alt would be just opting for a CZ or Tikka bolt action as the base and loading each round in by hand, or lighter CuPx projectiles in single shot action. I have made these distances before with 22lr on another rimfire so I am capable of making these shots.
