I have a Stiller Copperhead and I know of a couple Swindlehurst actioned rifles. There is also I believe a Stiller 2500 that has a few stellar(or is that Stiller) groups to its credit. What application were you thinking of?
Benchrest competition or some serious plinking ? Have a look here also h t t p://w w w .killoughshootingsports.com/ and in the rimfire forum on Benchrest Central

Regardless what you decide to build if at all you have to keep in mind, there are features of a BR rifle that enable them to shoot tiny groups or shoot a clean on any of the various competition targets.(ARA, USBR etc) One should also not forget the ability of the driver. Shooting those small groups takes time and practice.
There are also non-custom target rifles which may surprise you with the accuracy they can deliver. They just don't have the exclusivity of a custom.

an anschutz would be pretty fun as well but at that point why not go all the way.

Those that have them want to keep them. I know where two are located & despite my efforts to purchase the owners are not wanting to sell.
Why not just buy a 60 year old Winchester model 52?
Sorry guys, I couldn't resist. Shot this group the other day. Winds were light and variable (no flags) and the temperature was -5c
Wow, very nice.....what ammo?
This is going to be the year Phil. I have 2 52s I will be bringing. If I don't beat you, Katelynn will. Lol.

Nice 200 yd group. But one has to keep things in perspective. What will the rifle do as an average over many groups on different occasions and what can the driver do with it in match conditions ? The under pressure, on demand thing in conditions presented on the day can make for sometimes indifferent results.
A custom rifle or an excellent factory match rifle is no guarantee of consistent stellar results.

I realize that. It was kind of a sarcastic post.
I haven't got to that level yet, I stopped at Center-X but now seeing that I may have to step up. Great shooting.
My 52 -D Winchester is made in 1942 & looks like it was made 10 years ago. I was lucky to find her.
It has the Lyman Model 52 Extension Peep Sight . With CCI Standard velocity (code #0032) on a good day
shooting from the bench it keeps all the hits inside a dime @ 50 yds. A keeper for me.
A bit heavy to shoot offhand but a joy on the bench . ,,,,,,,,,,,, Frank
