I’ve never built a rifle in my life from different parts - is that a thing for a .22 rim fire? Seems like it would be a fun little project if that’s a thing… or to google actions and stocks!

I have a tikka t1x but for a 17hmr and with a Silencerco Sparrow suppressor. It’s an awesome set up and I’m sure you would be very happy with the t1 for a 22 as well. The gun is amazingly accurate considering its cost and very well made. The suppressors shine brightest on rimfires IMO. Especially with subsonic ammo. During fall, I take the can off the tikka and put it in a Ruger 22 pistol to plink grouse with while hiking.

When I’ve been around people using suppressors with centerfire rifles, you still need ear protection. Not so with a 22, and especially with subsonic. IMO, suppressors shine brightest on rimfires for this reason.

Kinda where I’m at. It’s just perfect for plinking. No ear pro, the extra weight makes the barrel hang.

Just get a CZ.
There are several Youtube reviews where the Springfield doesn't feed and doesn't shoot. Also, there are several threads about guys having QC issues with their Springfield Waypoint centerfire rifles...
All manufacturers put out lemons, but so far the customer service demonstrated by Springfield has been passive-aggressive and adversarial. Coupled with their suspect QC I'd say those are a hard pass from me. Shame because on paper they are pretty cool with attractive features...
That stinks. They’re a great looking gun that seems to handle closer to full size than lots of rimfires as well as accepting 10/22 magazines

Very happy with my Bergara B14r. Shoots SK standard + very well.

I have 2 of the Tikka T1x, they are an awesome little gun, highly recommend getting one, especially if you already have other Tikkas. Not much more fun than a suppressed 22 bolt gun.

Shooting squirrels in a residential neighborhood?

Lady living there was happy to have a few less roaming around. As were all the birds.

As I sit here on my deck watching a squirrel laying in the bird feeder gorging himself. Hard to not have immoral thoughts.feral cat

I’m thinking this should be on my short list.
I’m assuming you’ve never shot one on a rimfire?

+1 on the 69a. Mine will shoot nickel sized groups at 50 yards with Lapua match.
Nope. Shot a suppressed .223. I wasn't really wowed by it. mtmuley
