22LR (23”)

Every rifle has a story—this one was built with intent.

Originally commissioned as a precision rimfire trainer, this .22LR was never meant to be ordinary. It was designed to mirror the feel, balance, and discipline of a full-scale competition rifle, while delivering the kind of consistency that makes small targets feel just a little bigger and distant steel a little closer.

At its core sits the Zermatt RimX action—a benchmark in the rimfire world for those who demand centerfire-level performance from a .22 platform. The controlled bolt geometry and smooth cycling give it a deliberate, almost surgical feel. It’s the kind of action that disappears beneath you, letting you focus entirely on the shot.

The heart of the rifle is a 23” Benchmark barrel, cut with a 1:15 twist and a heavy 1.20” contour. This isn’t a compromise barrel—it’s purpose-built for stability and precision. Whether you’re stretching subsonic rounds to the edge of their capability or stacking groups at 50 yards, it delivers the kind of repeatability that builds confidence shot after shot.

Trigger control is handled by a TriggerTech Diamond, adjustable from a feather-light 4 ounces up to 32 ounces. Set it to your preference, and it breaks like glass—clean, predictable, and utterly consistent. It’s the kind of trigger that rewards discipline and exposes inconsistency, in the best possible way.

All of it is housed in the MDT Premier Gen II chassis in Charcoal Green—a system designed not just for ergonomics, but for adaptability. Outfitted with a bag rider, forend weight, and buttstock dampers, the rifle settles naturally into position. It tracks straight, recoils minimally, and stays planted through the shot. This is a rifle that wants to perform from barricades, prone, or the bench—wherever you take it.

This rifle hasn’t been built to sit idle. It’s a tool for refinement, a trainer for precision, and a performer in its own right. Whether you’re chasing tighter groups, preparing for centerfire competition, or simply appreciating what a truly dialed rimfire can do, this build stands ready.
