Price is $899.99

yea its so expensive and it looks cool!

My guess would be a custom made job...

zephyp is very probably correct.
Compared to some .22 precision target rifles that are in the $2000-$4000 range they are inexpensive.
The stocks are not as adjustable as some.

I suspect a very low trigger pressure trigger group, custom barrel, and a re-worked action.

I've asked your question of people that probably know but it may take a while to get an answer.

Thanks for the help, it is sweet bu, for 2000 is expensive for me

OK, I got some responses quicker than I thought I would.

I posted your question on the rimfirecentral.com forums in the Superstock Bolt Actions forum:
http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/sh ... ost3562053

The action has been tentatively identified as a Remington 40x, which I know is a very common action used to build up a precision .22 target rifle.
The stock has been, again tentatively, identified as a PUG.

Here are some quotes:

The stock looks like an old PUG. I used to see them advertised in precision shooting in the nineties. They were action specific, it clamped the receiver into the stock. The PUG took grips from a 1911 pistol. The rifles are Remington 700s or 700 clones.
I believe PUG company is gone but someone may still make the design.

Note: from http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting/40 ... /index.asp

The Remington 40X was, and is, a pure match rifle. During the mid 50’s, Remington developed the 40X based on a beefed up single shot bolt action. It was styled after and shared many parts with the Remington 722 at first and later the Remington 700.

Brownell's sold them a few years ago. They were all machined aluminum, had a 1911 style grip, and had a split rail type fore-end. A quick internet search found nothing. They look really cool and I wanted one for my savage 112BVSS

RFC is great! The guys over there have saved me more than a few times but I disassemble something a little to far.
