22-250 Opinions

Love a savage .22-.250. Best gun I own

I'm a big remington fan. Have 2 other older Remington's that shoot lights out.

Is the quality still just as good. Heard that they are not what they used to be.

It's still really good. Action is rock solid. You can always drop a timney trigger in it if needed. mine drives tacks. Someone else suggested a vssf and that would be an even better gun but you would have to buy used in your price range.

Can't go wrong with a 22-250. My favorite caliber

[ElDubb]

just got one about a year or so ago and if i could do it over id get a 204. Father got one a couple months ago and its a sweet little gun. Great for cats and yotes

I jumped on a Savage Axis last year-not even an accutrigger- threw a Vortex CF on it with Warne 202m rings-it is crazy/smooth accurate. I did a trigger travel job on it and it is just sick -clover leafs at 100.Planned on to be the daughter/wife rifle,but.... Your budget is higher than mine an you will not be disappointed with the .22-550.

I bought a Tikka T3 Lite in 22-250 last year and love it so far. It's not the varmint model, just the standard T3 Lite. I've been shooting Barnes Vor-TX factory ammo and its easy to get sub 1" groups from it at 100yds. I've taken a few coyotes and 5-6 hogs up to 150lbs with it and it has performed flawlessly. The trigger on mine is great!

Find a used VS / vSF / VSSF 700 in a swift or 22-250 & be done...great rounds but prefer the swift myself

Bingo....or a savage.

One thing to consider is barrel length, a 22 inch will be more handy in the woods but a long heavy barrel such as the 700's mentioned above will maximize velocity.

If light and handy is your choice I'd add the Tikka to that equation.

Easy, Tikka

If you want a .22-250 get a longer barrel—24" or more. This cartridge is very overbore and loses a lot in a shorter barrel. If you're going with a 20" barrel just get a .223.

This! I saw a 16" 22-250 the obey day at the local gun shop. I figure that's just a really loud 223 with a poor twist rate so you're limited to light weight bullets.

I have the model10 savage and it's a great gun. Can't go wrong with the Remington or this savage.

Found the tc venture walking Varminter on clearance at academy, Camo stock, clip fed, Shoots lights out.

My .22-250 is a Winchester M70 Featherweight--an old one. I only use it for hogs, but it lays them in the dirt just fine, and off the bench, it will deliver 3/4" 3-shot groups with 55-gr ballistic tips over H380 at 3550 fps.

Savage. Most accurate out of the box, 22-250 comes with 1 in 12" twist barrel that allows you to use a slightly heavier bullet, making it a good all around Texas caliber. Most mfg use a 1 in 14' twist.
