There's a lot of rimfire hype out there, but the Keystone 722 Varmint earns its keep the old fashioned way, by stacking rounds on top of each other. The heart of the rifle is a 20-inch bull-profile barrel machined from 4140 steel alloy and micro-button rifled with 12 lands and grooves at a 1:16 right-hand twist. That heavy contour soaks up heat and keeps your point of impact steady through long sessions on the bench, whether you're chasing tiny groups with match ammo or thinning out the ground squirrel population.
Keystone built this one around a compact 5-inch receiver with a short 1.6 inches of bolt travel and a 50-degree throw, so cycling is quick and there's plenty of clearance under a scope. The cock-on-open bolt runs smooth, and the trigger breaks light and clean at around 2 pounds with adjustability built in. Feeding comes from a clever self-retaining snap lock magazine with stainless steel feed lips that holds seven rounds. The receiver arrives drilled and tapped, ready for a rail and the glass of your choice, which is exactly how a rifle like this deserves to be set up.
The hand-finished American walnut laminate thumbhole stock isn't just there to look good, though it does. The thumbhole grip locks your firing hand into a repeatable position, the wide forend rides bags and rests nicely, and the 13.5-inch length of pull fits full-grown adults comfortably. At roughly 6.8 pounds, it has enough heft to sit still on target without becoming a chore to carry to the next prairie dog town.
This rifle is chambered for .22 Long and .22 LR, and it tends to reward quality standard-velocity target loads with impressively small clusters at 50 yards. Owners regularly report half-inch or better performance once they find the ammo their barrel likes. It's American made and covered by Keystone's lifetime guarantee, so this is a rimfire you can hand down, not just wear out.
No, this rifle ships without optics or a rail. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can add Keystone's Picatinny-style rail (sold separately) or compatible bases and mount whatever scope suits your shooting. There are no iron sights on this model, so plan on running glass.
It's chambered for .22 Long and .22 LR, and Keystone specifically advises against hyper-velocity loads like Stingers. Most owners find standard-velocity target ammo delivers the tightest groups, with plenty of reports of half-inch or better clusters at 50 yards once the barrel finds a load it likes. Spend a range session testing a few brands and let the rifle tell you.
This is a full-size rifle from Keystone's adult Precision lineup, not a Crickett youth gun. With a 13.5-inch length of pull and roughly 6.8 pounds of weight, it fits grown adults and older teens comfortably. The thumbhole stock and heavy barrel make it especially well suited to bench and rest shooting.
Yes, the 722 series comes with an adjustable trigger, and this one breaks light at roughly 2 pounds from the factory. That crisp, low-weight pull is a big part of why these rifles group as well as they do. Most folks find no reason to touch it out of the box.
