I love to tinker. I'm forever tweaking the guns I own - it's a passion.
I want to build an ultra-light .22 field and squirrel gun, and I have a couple of questions:
1. Should I go bolt or semi-automatic?
2. What rifle should I work off of?
I'm thinking of something like an AR7 in auto, or a Crickett in bolt. I want something cheap, scope-able, and REASONABLY accurate.
I already have a TC .22 Classic, a Remington 511 Scoremaster, and a 10/22. I'm happy with the TC and Remington accuracy, and the 10/22 is a great truck gun.
I know whatever I build won't be Anschutz accurate, but the ability to shoot MOA at 50 yards with good ammo off a sandbag would be nice. (I'm a decent shot - I can do my part of that.)
Any advice or experience would be appreciated!
