I am debating getting a bolt gun in 224v

The thought had crossed my mind as well. A 90 or 95 gr SMK seated out long running out of a 24” barrel sounds FUN.
I know MPA has released one with a Curtis Action in a chassis. What other actions could be built off? Donor action from Rem 700 SPC 6.8 bolt gun? Can a 223 Tikka bolt face be opened up?

If you're looking for a hot rod 22, why wouldn't you just get a 22 Creedmoor or fast-twist .22-250, particularly if you are loading for it? For a bolt gun I don't see any advantage over these two, or even a .223 AI.

Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

Would want to see reloading data first...but a couple of ideas 1) smaller frame then creed 2) more readily available supplies 3) similiar ballistics but less powder

Add: 4) Barrel Life 5) Cool factor — not to be underestimated.

Buzz has Valkyrie fever. It's just a matter of time before he builds one.
