Thoughts on .22-250?

[gemihur]

Don't overlook the performance of a .222 Rem Mag Imp.
Easily formed with .223 AI dies and .204 Ruger brass
Can be loaded right up to 22-250 speeds

The Weatherby comes with a 3# 2 stage trigger.

FYI, Weatherby doesnt make the Vanguard, Howa makes it for them. It’s not a bad rifle, but its not a Mk V either.

The articles I've read mainly put the Weatherby as the best out of box at that price range.

I've had a 22-250 of some form or another for 30yrs. It's a great little round soft recoiling. It's a touch hard on barrels and when reloading it is a pain because it stretches pretty bad.

I would hope at what they want for a Mark V it would be better.

For plinking/target I love the 223. I take my bench rest AR out to 600y. For hunting at longer ranges I like my 6.5 Grendel. I'm an AR guy. I will say the 22/250 will do everything on the range that I would want it to. I don't think you could go wrong with either the Weatherby or Savage. I really want a 6.5 Creedmoor in a Tikka rifle. Best feeling bolt I've ever cycled.

I have AR's too and like them for what they are. When I was younger I loved the semi automatics, but as I get older I seem to have more appreciation for the bolt action. Not that I don't like the semi auto's, I'm certainly not selling mine.

I must be a old soul. Bolt's are my favorite.

OK.. so I'm sure that thing can shoot with the best of them. Here's my .02 again.

1) Not modular.
2) Doesn't have a threaded barrel. I don't know if you shoot suppressed or not.

As of yet I don't have any, no. I like them very much, I just hate the thought of paying so much for a muffler and then paying $200 tax on top of something I paid tax on. But then again, I may.

The pain is temporary.

Nope, big brother is always lurking in the background waiting to pounce on you again.

As for $$$$ spent on silencers I love my ear muffs.

It's just that I can make a suppressor for pennies on the dollar, I just don't want to go to jail for it.

I was tempted by this when I started. Then I thought "hell no." I don't think suppressors are worth their value to just anyone. It depends on where you live and how you shoot.

Build one on a form 1. Then you are only in it for the tax stamp and materials.

I'll look into that.

A couple of thoughts worth what you paid for them. If you're primarily interested in target shooting, I'd think about how much you might shoot it. A .22-250 is getting into barrel burner territory. If I had one, and planned on shooting it a lot, I'd also look at what it would take to replace the rifle's barrel. Replacing a Savage barrel is very easy. If you shoot it much, you'd better be ready to get into reloading too.
