Nosler Actions
Nosler rifles use actions of the company's own design and are hand-fitted with Pac-Nor barrels. Only the NoslerCustom Rifle's receiver has Leupold Quick Release bases milled integral; all others use Model 700 two-piece bases.

Accuracy Guarantee
All Nosler rifles come with an accuracy guarantee. For example, Model 48 Custom Sporters (shown here) and Varmints have a 3/4 m.o.a. three-shot guarantee. Among the final inspections and testing before leaving the facility, the rifles are fired to prove their accuracy potential.

NoslerCustom
When dampened, as it is here, the NoslerCustom Rifle's walnut stock reveals its excellent grain. Further adding to its beauty, as well as enhancing purchase, is 22-line-per-inch checkering on the pistol grip.

Assembly
Nosler rifles, such as this Model 48 Custom Sporter, are meticulously assembled to ensure proper fit and finish.
Springfield Armory introduced a complete line of bolt-action .22s in 2023, and the Rimfire Classic is one of the most traditionally styled versions available, but it comes with a number of great design features.
Two of Smith & Wesson's recent introductions include the Folding Pistol-caliber Carbine (FPC) and its .22 WMR-chambered M&P handguns. Now, both platforms are available for the popular .22 Long Rifle chambering.
Through the years, this rifle has suffered the ravages of age and use; the stock had softened below the action, probably from over-oiling, and cracked. When the front action screw snapped in two during a routine zeroing session, it became clear that this old sporter needed a refresh.
Wheelguns are still a viable option for self-defense, offering some real advantages—but keeping them in the fight requires mastering a few tools and techniques.
