While most members here are big fans of the really big stuff, I recently found an impeccable Brno Model 2 action at a fantastic price and am planning to build a rimfire rifle on it. From my completely inexpert tests, a 22 lr round fits perfectly in the magazine and I think it is too small to build a 17 HMR rifle on.

I am thinking about building a 17 HM2 rifle with a 19" barrel on the action, probably with a full length stock. This would be a rifle without iron sights. A gunsmith friend in the UK has been cautioning me about possible accuracy problems with a full stock and that is the reason for this post here - to request experts here for suggestions on the configuration for this little rifle. I don't want a 22 lr because I have several now and I want something a little different.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions and good hunting, everyone!
