Combined effort between me and my Gunsmith Bozard & Co I did the checkering and the seven coats of oil he did all the hard yards on barrel fit and stock fit. The walnut was from NZ Gisborne New Zealand Walnut | NZ Walnut – Gun and Rifle Blanks Supplier, New Zealand
It’s been fun I’m still tinkering with a few bits and bobs. Had the magazine and follower cerakote as well as the trigger plate. Had the magazine floor plate blued along with the follower. Got the bolt jewelled (makes it really slick to operate) lapped the bolt head myself.
Not that much needed doing there just a slight even up. Still had contact on both sides just a small hollow on one side.
Triggers did nothing left them as is. These ones are really good! In fact the set trigger is very light. You get on target set breathe out hold touch and it’s gone.
Then once it was all back and the above lot was sorted I pillar bed it with a couple of cross bolt shafts and the full length bedded it with some of Nathan Fosters bedding kit!
With the red dot sight on at driven boar it handles like a shotgun. But that’s down to Phill (The Gunsmith) and stock design and fit. This was the most painstaking of the whole episode. I copied a forend of a wooded 700. The pistol grip came from the Price of Wales design and the check peace was all done by eye.
I think there must have been four fittings back and forward just for that lot.
If you are going down this road, then my advice is find a gunmaker and stocker that you get on with!
Also write down all that you want in numbered points. Talk and make sure that you are on the same page. Not all of your ideas will be realistic took me a bit to get my head around that one. But communication was key here. Then last but not least patience bucketloads of the stuff! For example seven coats of oil for that best finish not three and shel be right mate
Anyway some guy here wanted to know a price for his 222
Any pics of this rifle?

You’ve done a great job. I had a Husqvarna 46 with what I believed to be a Prince of Wales pistol grip, and it was hemispherical?
More meplat, more better.
There is also a model called Regent Featherweight, that brings the number to 5 different 222 models
Update -
I finally laid my eyes on it, and unfortunately it's not in very good condition. There's lots of pitting on the outside of the barrel. I couldn't really tell what the inside was like, but I'd imagine not great.
I don't know what model it is (or how to tell). I'll post some pics shortly.

Would say CF2 with that cheek piece and long bolt, think one action fitted all calibres.
