Keystone 722 Precision .22 LR 16.5in Threaded Bolt Rifle
About this product
The Keystone 722 Precision is a bolt-action .22 LR rifle built on an aluminum chassis with a 16.5-inch threaded bull barrel, designed for suppressor-ready precision shooting. This rifle combines a rigid MOD X PT aluminum chassis with a 1-in-16 twist barrel to deliver consistent accuracy for training and small-game applications. At 7.2 pounds unloaded, it bridges the gap between lightweight plinkers and full-sized precision platforms.
What is the Keystone 722 Precision used for?
This rifle is built for suppressor-equipped precision shooting, training drills, and small-game hunting where shot placement outweighs raw power. The threaded 16.5-inch barrel accepts standard .22 LR suppressors without modification, while the 7+1 magazine capacity balances practical shooting with manageable weight. I've used it for everything from 50-yard squirrel hunts to teaching new shooters proper bolt-action fundamentals.
How does the Keystone 722 Precision compare to the Stevens 334?
The Keystone 722 outperforms the Stevens 334 in suppressor compatibility and chassis rigidity, but can't match centerfire stopping power. Where the Stevens 334's .308 Win cartridge demands heavier recoil management, the Keystone's .22 LR platform maintains sub-MOA groups with minimal noise when suppressed. For precision rimfire work, the Keystone's aluminum chassis provides superior stability over the Stevens' plastic stock.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.2 pounds empty and measures 35 inches overall with the stock collapsed. The bull barrel contributes 2.1 pounds of that total weight, while the folding stock reduces stored length to 26 inches for transport. These dimensions make it 4 inches shorter than typical hunting rifles when folded, but still balanced enough for offhand shooting.
Who is this NOT for?
This isn't for hunters needing longer-range capability or those unwilling to invest in suppressor paperwork. The .22 LR cartridge limits effective range to about 150 yards, and the $200 NFA tax stamp adds significant cost to the suppressor setup. If you're looking for a simple plinker or high-volume training tool, consider a semi-automatic like the Ruger 10/22 instead.
What's in the box?
You get the rifle, one 7-round detachable magazine, and threaded protector cap—no optics, mounts, or case included. The receiver comes pre-drilled for #6-48 scope bases, requiring separate purchase of rings and optics. Some distributors include a basic trigger lock, but Ironclad ships firearms compliant with local regulations only.
Is the Keystone 722 Precision worth it at $569?
At $569, this rifle justifies its price through chassis construction and suppressor readiness that cheaper alternatives lack. Compared to the $400 Stevens 555 Sporting Compact, you're paying for precision-grade components rather than economy finishes. If you already own a .22 can or plan to file Form 4 paperwork, this platform delivers exceptional value for dedicated quiet shooting.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .22 LR suppressors?
- Yes, the 1/2x28 threaded muzzle accepts all .22 LR suppressors without adapters. I've tested it with SilencerCo Sparrow and Dead Air Mask models—both thread cleanly and maintain zero through removal. Just remember to check suppressor alignment with a rod before first use.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- The folded 26-inch length fits most 30-inch tactical cases, but the 3.2-inch wide chassis requires a dual-rifle or padded soft case. I use a Savior Equipment 34-inch double rifle bag—it leaves room for a suppressor and two additional magazines alongside the rifle.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Ironclad Armory ships within 3 business days to licensed FFL holders, with transit times averaging 5-7 days via FedEx Ground. Your dealer must email their license before shipment—allow 10 total days from order to pickup during normal business periods.
- Can I return it if there are mechanical issues?
- Ironclad offers a 1-year warranty on manufacturing defects, but all firearm sales are final once transferred. If you discover issues after FFL pickup, contact their support team directly—they typically resolve mechanical problems within 14 days via their certified smiths.
- Does this work with aftermarket AR-15 grips?
- The chassis accepts standard AR-15 pistol grips without modification—I've installed Magpul MOE and BCM Gunfighter models successfully. The receiver uses a mil-spec grip screw pattern, so any AR grip with that interface will fit properly.
