Sold my SR-22 ... Now what to get
- Thread starter DILLIGAF

I went down the same path years ago.
Build a lot of nice rifles, but they where heavy azz SOB's and didn't serve much purpose unless you were strictly shooting off bags or a bench.
Now I try to build with "light and comfort" in mind.
I say give that route a try. You'll be happy you did.

Sounds very interesting as I am also considering a SR22 or upgrading a standard 10/22 with an Archangel Kit and aftermaket barrel. With all the add ons, I would probably end up with a more expensive and less accurate gun than the DAR22.
It would be bonus (The tacticool factor) if a DAR22 action and barrel could be fitted in an Archangel Kit
, but I understand it would be quite heavy... And I like the Boyds stock afterallThanks

There's an old saying about the mechanic who is always busy ...
Yah, official word is that they are slammed. My store is often the same - so busy it is difficult to answer the phone. When your products/services are in high demand, that's what can happen. It's not easy to hire more people for skilled labour positions, either. I mean, just answering the phone at a place like Dlask would take someone who has good firearms knowledge, including what parts are used in particular guns.

Just last week I purchased a used SR22, loaded to the nuts with aftermarket gear. She was as heavy as hell. I wasn't long stripping a good chunk of the tactical gear off.
As a side note ; My wife and I went to the range and I was actually quite impressed with the accuracy of the Ruger . It came equipped with an NcStar 2-7X32 scope and prior to the range visit I had it off and on a dozen times and in various locations along the rail and she still shot perfect with no changes.

Pm sent.
I hear Joe's new stepped heavy barrels balance quite nice. And they should, I had a 16.5" Savage MK2 FV-SR, barrel O.D. was .850" and it was nice and light up front. How about a DAR22 w/ your choice of stepped barrel and a reasonable scope?
You are looking at up to a 4 week wait. At least that's what I was told Friday afternoon.
Ok got thru... Boyd stock Threaded receiver stepped 16.5 barrel this sounds about right...
Joe asked me why I wanted a threaded receiver... I said i heard they were better... He said they are... I said then I want one...
He also told me his stepped barrels have the same accuracy as the bulls...
Cant wait to try them out....

Just got the quote from Dlask... All I got to say is I will find another source for parts on this project... I will just pick up the Receiver and barrel....
He wants 280$ for a timney trigger group and double the price on the boyd stock, double the price on the ruger bolt .... WTF is up with that.... Pretty pissed right now....
After all the money I've spent there in the last year, I don't appreciate getting rapped ....

? lol. If he does it means it is of "higher" qualityStrange, I paid less for a new bolt from Joe than used ones are going for on the EE. Stock was pretty close to US factory direct, too (shipping those up across the border is $$).
The shipping is what usually kills me when I try to pick up every part from a different place at "the best price". I have figured it out in the past that I can pay a few bucks more per part if I order as much as possible from one place - and still save on the total because of combined shipping.
