22 creed

[Excavator]

Who is making a good shooting 22 creed? I just don't want to spend the money on a full custom for the purpose of this gun. It will just be a zero to 300 yard point and shoot truck gun. I have been seeing a lot of varmints in our high fence. I hate to ride around town with A $10,000 full custom Incase someone decides they want it more then me and knocks a window out of the truck.

No factory options at this point (at least that I'm aware of). Cheapest option would probably be to pick up a Savage and throw a pre-fit barrel on. You can do all the work yourself. I went with an X-caliber prefit (in 22-250AI) and it shoots lights out. There are several others that make Savage prefits as well.

Agree with the above. Just buy a cheap savage and throw a barrel on it. You can do it for way less than 1,000 bucks.

I agree w the other guys. I'm putting together a 6 CM right now, started with a savage 12 from Basspro on sale for $288+tax.

Zero to 300 yard truck gun? Just buy a cheap .223 or .22-.250 and be done with it.

There is no fun in that!

Buy a prefit for a Savage or Remington , and convert an old rifle to something new.

You can also go with something like an Encore prohunter.

Get a 458 lott barrel for it while you're at it and have some real fun.

Thanks for all the info guys. I had two Encore's u could jump on the trigger and it would not go off. I gave them away. Also not a big fan of a single or break barrel. If the barrel breaks open, it is for shooting dove or quail, where I come from.

I got two criterion barrels from northland shooters supply. One savage & one remage. Both shoot lights out. Pick up a cheap savage or remington adl 243 win.
Option#1 $390 ADL + $330 criterion + $30 barrel nut + $130 timney = $880 truck gun
Option#2 $300 Axis + $330 criterion + $0 original barrel nut + $12 Gun Shack 1.5# trigger spring = $672 truck gun
