I've done a good bit with the .17 and .22Mag. The Bergara .22Mag has been doing a good job the last couple years but it's a little long and heavy for fast work. Been wanting a good semi-auto .22Mag and have an AR upper coming today. It'll be interesting.

Thanks! When I moved to middle of nowhere Tennessee and got a new batch of chickens, I had to really up my game on the varmint control. Most of which happened after dark. I was constantly dealing with coons, possums, skunks, foxes, coyotes, feral cats and stray dogs. Got tired of trying to hold a flashlight and a traditional rifle, so I set out to put together something more specialized for the task. I took a stainless 10/22 carbine had I'd had for years and put it in a Tapco stock, which I still think is one of the best of its kind. Before you could buy an integrated peep sight/pic rail, I made this. I got a screw-cutting lathe, a milling fixture and milled out the extension of a VQ picatinny rail. Mounted it backwards to cantilever over the Tech Sights rear sight. Had to drill and tap some extra holes but it looks like I bought it that way. Started out with a 30mm Millett 1-4x. Had to add a rail to the stock at the 3:00 position and mounted a light. Finished everything in OD green Alumahyde.
Haven't tried one yet.
As it turns out, it makes a great utility/general purpose rifle. The black one's a little lighter with the SBX barrel but I'm thinking about a 3rd that's a more precision build with a KIDD barrel.
That's part of the plan for one of mine. I picked up the mini Wraith a couple years ago, used at the local shop. Never really properly wrung it out but what I have seen, I really like.
