    Show us ya rimfire bunny rigs

    Hey varminters, I have finally got my rimfire bunny rig sorted just the way I want, so I'm keen to see what everyone else is using.
    My rig:
    Marlin 917
    Greystone suppressor
    Olivion 4-16x44 AO tracker
    Lightened trigger
    Nylon polymer bipod
    Maxtoch 2x scope mounted for night missions
    Deadly accurate and really nice tool to use.

    @Tommy same here @hotbarrels I had a project in minde to get an old BSA and have it converted to the 17wsm.
    Too many other projects I haven't finished yet and need my mate over the hill for the machining, plus buying a barrel so cant see that one happening.
    Happy likes this.

    .22lr Tikka T1x 16" barrel. DPT suppressor, March 2.5-25 x 42 scope. Area 419 20MOA rail with bubble level, Timney 2 stage trigger, Atlas bipod. Maxtoch 2X wired light.

    Yep, not the cheapest rig, but I don't mind spending on my most used rifle. The scope never gets past 6x when hunting, but the additional magnification gets used when the missus uses it for punching holes in paper.

    Ok I'll lower the tone here with low tech low price well used farmer gear! Here's my old 10/22 I've had from new 35 years ago, with a used trademe choate synthetic stock and an Ebay trs-25. I used BX-15 for years but now have to go with coupled BX10. I mainly shoot hares in establishing tree blocks, I consider 22lr marginal for hares so usually pull the trigger twice every shot which works for me. I've seen hares take out 1000 seedlings in a single night so a few extra rounds of 22lr are a small price to pay. Probably should have a 22mag for hares. I had intended to move this rifle over to E and get some 25 round mags for multiple hares, too late now.

    2 rounds of 22lr still cheaper than 1 of .22mag.
    BTW I really like your rig! I've had almost the exact thing in mind for a while. I'd only chop a few inches off the front end (down to 16") and add a suppressor.

    Here's mine kinda the same as bens, ati dragunov stock, with a piece of split alkathene as an extra cheek riser. The clip on the barrel is for a spotlight. Dont know the brand of scope but its been on the rifle for enough years to get sunburnt. Mil dot so holdovers are easy.
    I too occasionally use a trimag but am not a big fan of it. For off hand shooting I find the stock way better than the original especially with the extra weight of the spot.
    I guess this thread is really in the gutter now!
