Custom .22LR rifles for PRS Rimfire and NRL22

There’s no independent ranking of .22LR rifle builders that we know of, so no builder can honestly claim to be the best. What we can show you is this.

Four members of the 2025 U.S. Precision Rifle Rimfire Team shoot Rachel Precision rifles: Matt Stiner, 2nd in Open at the 2025 IPRF Rimfire World Championship; Dave Ostrowske, 3rd in Seniors; Dakota Wright, 2nd in Juniors; and John Boyken, whose Seniors squad won gold with Dave (U.S. Precision Rifle Association, 2025). Team USA took the world title (AccurateShooter, August 2025). Judge the work for yourself, and see their build sheets on our Shooters page.

Rachel Precision, Randy Rachel’s shop in Canton, Mississippi, builds custom .22LR rifles for PRS Rimfire and NRL22 on the Zermatt Arms RimX action and the MPA Elite barreled action. Three members of the 2025 U.S. Precision Rifle Rimfire Team shoot Rachel Precision rifles: John Boyken, Matt Stiner and Dakota Wright. Call (601) 573-2753 to start one.

The RimX has a true Remington 700 footprint. It fits Remington 700 stocks and chassis and takes Remington 700 triggers, so your .22LR can wear the same chassis and trigger as your centerfire rifle. Bolt heads swap between .22LR/17 Mach 2, 17 HMR/22 Mag and 17 WSM, and it ships with a 10-round, adjustable-height magazine.

ModX is a bolt-nose conversion for the RimX action, designed by Modacam Custom Rifles. In MDT’s 2025 .22LR video, Matt Stiner says Randy built his RimX and did the ModX conversion. Justin McBee runs a ModX rifle with a 16-twist Brux barrel that Randy chambered. If you want one on your build, call (601) 573-2753 and we’ll talk it through.

We chamber rimfire barrels from Brux, CRB, Bartlein, Krieger, Douglas, Benchmark and Shilen, just about every maker in the winner’s circle. Justin McBee’s NRL22 and PRS Rimfire rifle and Dakota Wright’s RimX build both run Brux. We’ll help you pick the maker, length and contour for the way you shoot, and we cut the chamber and crown in our shop in Canton, Mississippi.

1:16 is the standard twist for .22LR match ammunition, and it’s what Justin McBee’s current 25-inch Brux runs. Some shooters try faster twists. Justin shot a 13-twist barrel before this one and found it pickier about ammunition. Tell us what ammunition you shoot, and we’ll talk it through before we order your barrel.

No, a tuner is optional. It lets you move the barrel’s vibration node to suit a particular lot of ammunition. Dakota Wright runs an Erik Cortina tuner on her RimX build, while Justin McBee’s 16-twist Brux shoots without one. We stock the EC Tuner V2 and can thread your muzzle to fit it.

Every .22LR barrel likes some lots better than others, so plan on testing. Justin McBee says of his Rachel Precision rifle, “I have not found a lot of quality match rimfire ammo it does not like.” Tell us what you shoot now and what you can buy locally, and we’ll build around it.

Stocks and chassis inletted for the Remington 700 fit the RimX. Dakota Wright’s build sits in an MDT ACC chassis, and the rifle Matt Stiner shoots in the MDT video is in an MDT ACC Elite. We stock the MDT ACC Elite and ACC Premier, plus Foundation and MPA options. We’ll help you match weight and balance to your matches.

Yes. Justin McBee is a good example. He asked Randy to spin a 16-twist Brux at 25 inches for his existing RimX, and it’s now his rifle for PRS Rimfire and NRL22. Call (601) 573-2753 with your action, chassis and the barrel you want, and we’ll quote the price and timeline.

Yes. A complete rifle or a RimX action is a firearm under federal law, so we ship it to a licensed dealer (FFL) near you. Your dealer emails us a copy of their license, and you complete the transfer and background check there. Barrels, chassis, triggers and optics ship straight to you.

Yes. We build PRS and NRL centerfire rifles on Impact Precision, Lone Peak Arms and Zermatt Arms actions, chambered for 6 Dasher, 6 GT, 6 Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester and more. See our PRS centerfire rifle page, or call (601) 573-2753.
