The Story Behind the Build

The call of the woods is soft but persistent. For those who answer, the rifle is more than a tool—it’s a companion. This build was imagined for that kind of journey: quiet walks through the forest, patient shooting from uneven terrain, and timeless enjoyment of precision shooting.

At the center of it all is the WOOX Merica stock. Handcrafted from American walnut and reinforced with an internal aluminum chassis, the Merica isn’t just about looks—it’s about legacy and control. It feels balanced in the hand, steady under recoil, and firm against your shoulder in the field.

Around this foundation, every other component was chosen with purpose. This rifle may shoot .22LR, but it carries itself like something far more serious.
