It's not getting into burner territory it's there. It can be prolonged if you can keep the barrel somewhat cool but its still an overbore with poor shoulder angle.

That's the feedback I'm looking for. I've read a lot on the pros and cons and the pros outweighed the cons, but hadn't seen anything on burning up barrels.
I wouldn't take that as gospel. Metallurgy has changed a lot from when that cartridge was introduced. I'd at least investigate it. Generally high pressures, high velocities and overbores like Dee said are at least something to be mindful of.

A man of vision but with no mission.
If barrel burning was as bad as some think it to be then Weatherby would have been out of business decades ago. I have no idea how many rounds my second hand Weatherby 257 has but it shoots one hole groups with ease. It’s 15 years old. A 22-250 can last 2500-3000 rounds if care and appropriate powders and measures are used. Even shooting factory ammo.
I was looking at the Sako, but like the Mark V, a bit out of my range.
This look interesting:
Bergara B 14 HMR
Although it's about $400 more then the Weatherby Vanguard, it's in the more doable range for me. I can't say I know much about Bergara, but a couple of articles go on to say they are known for their high quality barrels. Does anyone here have much experience with Bergara? And if so what's your take on them?

Good looking rifle. Almost bought one early this year. Seems what I remember is that the action is smooth and barrel is accurate. Lots of good info if you poke around the web and Youtube.
It's been pretty positive reviews that I've read so far, I just haven't seen them around here that I can remember. I'll certainly have to look closer at the stores.
I have been doing a lot of research on the Bergara B14 HMR and the more I research it, the more I'm liking this rifle. Now there's not as much information on the 22-250 as there is on the 308 or 6.5 creedmore, but it is still relevant to the rifle design itself.
Bergara's main claim to fame is their barrels. Although not a bull barrel, they do have a much steeper taper then most, making it an in between regular hunting barrel and a match bull barrel, hence the HMR, which stands for hunting and match rifle. Their way of making the bore is quite interesting and probably why most of their rifles are in the higher end scale.
The Bolt is the Remington 700 style bolt, but with a Sako style extractor. All the reviews I've read and seen rave at the smoothness of the bolt. Also, talking about Remington, it takes the same rings and bases, so looking for various styles won't be a problem.
The trigger, although single stage, is said to be crisp and clean at right around 3 pounds.
The stock is their own design and the reviews have been all positive so far. More rigid then other rifles in their price range adding better stability to the free floated barrel.
Like the weatherby, the Begara also has a sub MOA guaranty.
I need to at least find someplace selling a variant of these to get my own assessment of the feel, but overall, so far, this has risen to the top of my choices
