Turn affordable rimfire rifles into precision competition shooters

Meet Scott Buttrick –Precision Rimfire Author & Instructor

   I'm a lifelong shooter, NRA Life Member, former police officer, and certified firearms instructor with over 30 years of hands-on experience. At 70, I decided to put my knowledge into words and help others build competition-worthy .22LR rifles—without spending a fortune.

   Precision22 is your guide to building, tuning, and understanding the humble but powerful .22 Long Rifle cartridge for NRL22, benchrest, and recreational accuracy.
