Twist Rate / Chamber / extractor
I believe I’m settled on an 1885 MVA low wall, perhaps a 1885 Winder or 44 1/2 if a couple bids I have on auctions come through.
For building the rifle up Wyoming Armory, Lee Shaver or the easy button that I can’t seem to clear from my thoughts, C Sharps. (?)
Thoughts or experiences on twist rate? I am leaning towards 1:14 because I can’t see a down side perhaps providing better stability past 100y. (?)
Chambering - I can only go by past experience. Every factory .22 I have owned ignited all brands fine. The Small Bore rifle I had built, according to the Smith, was specifically chambered / head spaced for Lapua ammo. It was 50/50 firing Eley with their thin rims. What should I ask for concerning a chamber? I would prefer not eliminate any top quality ammo by the chamber choice.
If I start with a new MVA action it will have a rimfire extractor. Is that an issue worth insisting it be replaced with a two part extractor during the build?
