I've got this idea in my head for a .22LR rifle that can be broken down into two halves for backpacking or any other time when I may be able to make use of a compact .22 rifle.
I'm thinking to pull this off, I want to use a bolt action box magazine fed rifle because it will work with any ammo and because it will be legal for hunting in my state.
All I really forsee happening is the barrel being cut to 16.5 inches by a smith and the front sight reinstalled, stock cut down if necessary, and thumbscrew made to retain the action on the stock.
Which stock rifles do you guys think will be best for this type of project?
