    Greetings All,
    5.6x52R aka .22 Savage might be an option. Oddball projectile dia though.
    GPM.

    @grandpamac Blaser only does the 5.6x52R in the octagonal barrel
    So you would need a different fore end which is Blaser expensive

    Nice oddball caliber but even more of a challenge than 5.6x50R

    For what it's intended for the small game caliber could be rimless and the 222 would be ideal

    Although I'm a fan of rimmed single shot rifles
    I'm sure Blaser have the rimless extractor well sorted
