Talk me off the ledge. Would ideally rather a LH 700 retubed to fast twist vanilla 22-250, but dammit...........

Pros and cons on the Ruger.

Input appreciated.


Would be inclined to buy now, punch it later if the desire lingers. Less aggravation to rebarrel a 700 perhaps, dunno about that. Thinking the 700 would be cheaper too, but not entirely certain about that either.

I like Bill Ruger's philosophy about production gun design and a number of other things as well, just never owned one that didn't need tweakin' along the way to make it run, regardless of action or chamber. Being past the production line phase of life, leaves me to fall back on the 700 SUX and a fella can do worse than that from the start. Balancing loot vs. performance, I don't think you'll do much better either.

Vanilla .22-250s ain't all that vanilla after all...

I am..........disturbed.
