Boonville, MO – There’s an old saying that says, “speed kills.” If that’s true, then CMMG’s new Mk4 line-up in 22 Nosler is sure to be a lethal weapon on predators, varmints and other medium sized game.
Officially unveiled at the 2017 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, NV, the 22 Nosler is an extremely fast centerfire cartridge that is designed to function out of an AR platform rifle. Already SAAMI approved, a 55gr 22 Nosler Ballistic Tip round can reasonably expect muzzle velocities approaching 3,500 fps out of a 24-inch barrel.
Featuring 25% more case capacity than the 223 REM/ 5.56 NATO, the width of 22 Nosler means that it feeds out of 6.8 REM SPC magazines. Despite the larger casing, the rim has been necked down so that the round runs off a standard .223 bolt carrier group.
When paired with this type of ballistic performance, CMMG’s Mk4 rifles in 22 Nosler are capable of filling the needs of long range shooters and a variety of hunting applications.
“Anytime there’s a new rifle caliber introduced, we always take a look at it and determine if it’s something our customers would be interested in and benefit from,” said Chris Reinkenmeyer, CEO of CMMG Inc.
“The 22 Nosler caught our eye for a number of reasons. First, it’s designed around the AR15 and so it’s very compatible with our rifles and also easy to match up with an existing lower. Second, our customers want rifles that are unique but with purpose. Based on our testing, we feel that the 22 Nosler does present significant ballistic advantages for shooters who require a fast, accurate and flat shooting projectile out of a relatively lightweight rifle.”
CMMG’s 22 Nosler line-up will include four different rifles, four upper receiver groups that can be pair with any mil-spec AR15 lower receiver and three barrel sub-assemblies. Each rifle comes standard with a 10-round magazine.
