Freedom Arms made, apparently, at least one M83 in .22LR. It was tested by the American Rifleman and they raved about the accuracy, some absurd groups like 1/4" or so at 25 yards - equal to Olympic Free pistols, or so they said.
still a huge revo for .22, I think they were catering to silhouette shooters.
One of the full-lug 617's ought to be a more reasonable option. There is a pre-lock 6" model at the local Gander Mountain, but I really don't want to pay $950 for a .22, and I have a 5-screw K22, anyway.
