Bolt-action .22LR rifles remain a cornerstone for developing trigger discipline, sight picture, and follow-through without the cost and recoil of centerfire platforms. For clubs, instructors, and serious hobbyists seeking a dedicated precision trainer, the right rifle should combine predictable ergonomics, a reliable action, and a barrel length that balances velocity and handling.

KEYSTONE SPORTING ARMS 722 is built as a precision trainer with a black finish and a 16-inch barrel chambered in .22LR with a 7-round magazine capacity. Shop this product

Design and features

The bolt-action platform on this trainer emphasizes a clean, repeatable manual operation ideal for learning cadence and cycling fundamentals. The 16-inch barrel is short enough for comfortable handling on the range yet long enough to stabilize typical .22LR loads for consistent group sizes. The 7-round detachable magazine and black synthetic finish make this model practical for repetitive drills and low-maintenance use.

Barrel and accuracy

A 16-inch barrel on a .22LR reduces muzzle flip and keeps the rifle nimble in tight positions while still providing sufficient sight radius for iron-sight shooting or mounting low-profile optics. For targets and small-bore precision competitions, that barrel length supports reliable velocity across common rimfire ammunition varieties.

Ergonomics and setup

The balanced weight and compact layout are well suited for prone, seated, and bench drills. Shooters can pair this trainer with standard rimfire match ammo for serious marksmanship work or use economical bulk rounds for high-volume practice without excessive wear.
