For my next .22-250, I'm waiting for Remington to put up that chambering in the Model 700 CDL. I figure that should result in enough heft for accurate shooting while still being light enough to lug to some far off calling stand. Add in the satin finish stock and metal and it might just be the ultimate coyote rig.
To err is human, so we can only hope that the pencil will wear out before the eraser does.
Bisyn-I am kind of a waiting for that one too..can't imagine why they've not made one yet so I will be right there in line with you when they do come out.
Can't for the life of me figure out why they've yet to of brought out the rig?

My guess is that they've got a bunch of .22-250 BDL's that they want to get rid of before they do a production run of .22-250 barrels for the CDL. That's likely the reason, also, that they only do a .223 Remington CDL in the left-hand version -- still a slew of right-hand .223 BDL's in the pipeline. Moreover, varmint caliber CDL's would compete directly with their high-dollar LVSF, and they may be having trouble moving those. There's no production reason they couldn't do the CDL in varmint calibers, so it must be a purely business decision.

Light tubes do get hot and might not be as stable, but I'm thinking of it as the light, quick & easy calling rifle/pick up gun. Not to mention, they're kinda purty!

I've a few Swifts and definately prefer the 223AI.
Prefer it over the 22-250/22-250AI too,but dat's old news............................

none of the above! when i was looking at gettin a 22-250, i didnt mess around. i ordered a kimber 8m varmint master. 26" stainless ( i believ that size) fluted barrel, awesome wood, great trigger! love it!
I know it's too heavy for what you want, and maybe too ugly for some, but how bout a savage 12 BVSS?
That's what I'm getting to fill my 22-250 void. I'll reshape & refinish that blocky huge stock first thing & possibly vent the barrel channel in the fore end, slick up the action a little, and probably stain the reworked lam stock a deep redish brown & oil seal it...
function, performance, value. I'm going to give it a shot.
I know it will shoot, and I can make it pretty. Plus I'll be able to spring for better optics with the $ I save on the rifle itself.
I have a left hand VSF that I sent to Holland in OR. for a brake, trigger work and firing pin.6.5x20 leupold on top. I can see the hits quite well.55 V-max over Varget.
