1968 Browning SA22

I saw some older gentlemen at the range not too long ago and they were firing precision .22s. One of them let me fire five rounds though his pride 'n joy at a target 100 yards out. I was surprised that I managed a good group. The old wheels started turning and, after a bit of thought, I decided to put one together. I acquired a CZ 457 Varmint and had its barrel threaded for a suppressor. Next, I ordered a new stock from Woox and managed to locate a nice Zeiss LRP S3 636-56 scope. Everything came pretty fast so got 'er cobbled up and out to the range.

The target on the left was for zeroing at 25 yards and the one on the right was at 50 yards. Next, I tried at 100 yards and was disappointed with with the results. I replaced the OEM trigger, which was pretty good, with a Timney adjusted to 8 oz. I changed ammo to standard velocity Eley and, after a little practice, managed to get some decent groups.


Fun stuff!

Just picked this up from the TCGC proshop and tested at the BP range with an old scope.

Bear Creek Arsenal has been selling 10/22 clones for a while now.
This rifle, BC-204, is new and chambered in 17HM2.
Savage has the semiauto A17 in 17HM2 but you get to experience the Savage Rotary Magazine...

This rifle looks and Feels like a 10/22 with a Hogue over molded stock, Picatinny rail, 416 stainless steel threaded barrel, a Tandem Kross trigger, and Ruger mags.

I don't know if the BC-204 actually has a Hogue stock or Tandem Kross trigger, just feels like it

Sage rats are not happy



Update: replaced the scope and added a brass catcher.
The stock is a Hogue over-molded stock. Butt pad has a Hogue logo.



Update: Here's a group shot at 100 yards with CCI 17gr 17HM2 ammo

I went to visit a friend and drink coffee on a Saturday morning a couple of months ago. After a while, like normal, the gun safe came open and we started swapping lies. Then this little Marlin 1892 came out of the safe.
I posted it in another thread and stated that I thought it was made in 1915. Today I found out that Marlin dropped the name Model1892 and shortened it to Model 92 in 1905. 120 (1) years old. What a light and lively gun. Still works just fine.

I assume that top one looks like that due to some other state's BS regulations?

Yes, these are both California 'loophole' builds for my son should he ever venture off the reservation with one.

I agree, but you can't see it when you're firing it, and you almost completely don't even notice it (or I didn't anyway) because it mirrors the contour and feel of the M1 carbine. Quite functional, and quite natural feeling. I was a skeptic also, but I was merely ignorant for judging it by it's looks alone. Yes it's quite ugly, but I doubt whatever you shoot is going to complain especially since it's a real tack driver with that USO LPVO attached

Ya not a beauty contest, as long as it works for him.

1000% better than those dreadful unusable 'grip fins,' and 500% better than a fixed magazine - I pat myself on the back for threading the legal needle, and still being functional. Not to mention that converting it back would take like 3 minutes, and 2 simple hand tools.

More my style for the 22 mag

Great job creating a work around for BS California laws.!

I had heard the other gun nerds at the office talking about the 17HMR's they were building.
So I became interested in the platform.
Some time later I was at the pawn shop and saw this one on the rack and asked to see it.
Savage 92R17 and it looked quite nice in the stainless with the heavy barrel, so I took it home.


It needed a scope so I called my buddy that deals with those sort of things and he hooked me up with this Leupold VX-||| 4.5 - 14 x 40mm.


Here it is mounted, but not adjusted and sighted in.
They look great together for sure.
