Bolt Action Single-Shot

[Master Carper]

I'm looking for a bolt action single shot rifle in 22 lr.. Do any of you guys know who makes one?

I want a single shot so I can rechamber it to the 22 magnum and mount a scope on it to use for sniping coyote out to 150 yds. or less...

Any information would be greatly appreciated....

I do not think the action would be long enough for a 22 mag.
Why don't you buy a 22 mag?

Brennan,

do you know of a manufacturer that makes the 22 magnum in a bolt action single shot?

The reason for wanting a 22 lr. is because it would allow me to be able to cut a better chamber over what the factories offer...

I have reworked a lot of old Remington rifles as well as Savage single shots but, I cannot find any of there around...

Winchester made a bolt action single shot years ago that had a 27" barrel and one of these would be perfect, IF I could find one. The last one I had, I picked up at a pawn shop for $125 and it was one of the best shooters I ever had. Unfortunately though, I parted with that rifle when I was offered more than 5X what I had in the complete rig, once I was finished with it and I've regretted it ever since....

I believe CZ does. At least in a .22 long.

Marlin and Mossberg both make single shot bolt action .22's. Henry also makes a .22 mag single shot bolt action in stainless.

Granted it's only a 1/1000 of an inch,,,
But it is a difference.

.22 LR = .223
.22 Mag = .224

Anyways, if you want an out of the box tack-driver,,,
Consider the Henry Accu-Bolt in .22 LR or .22 Mag.

Mine in .22 LR is the most accurate rifle I own.

I may be wrong, but I always thought the 22 lr was .221

The 22 lr. is in fact .223 and the 22 mag. is 224...

The 22 magnum works very well when rechambered from a 22 lr. as does other small capacity cartridges like the 221 Fire Ball, 22 Hornet and 22 K-Hornet...

And before you ask, NO, this is not a dangerous practice and something that has been done ever since these cartridges have been around....

I'll have to check into that one and see if I can get my hands on one to look at....
