Well after 30 years and 10,000+ rounds down stream my 'factory" MKX barrel can't get me MOA any longer. Over the years I have increased the OAL to get the bullet closer to the receding lands. It is now a single shot. Pervious loads that have worked a a number of new attempts and 1.25-1.5MOA is the best I can do.

So I'm in the market for a new barrel. Since I do at time use this as a carry rifle I don't want to go with a heavy varmint or bull.

CM because I don't use it alone for days long PD trips. So I was thinking something in a simply heavy sporter. Maybe light target. It will remain a 22-250 and I won't be using heavy bullets so don't need a super fast twist.

Thoughts and experience?


Just my 2 cents.
