Too easy to punch a 22-250 to 22-243. Run it in a 308 mag and have at it.
I like 22-250 better myself.

I'm happy with a .223 or .204 over the .22-250 so I wouldn't be interested. Now offer an 8 twist .243 and I'd be all over it!

Ruger semi-auto 44 mag or 308 in stainless. Need a good brush/pig rifle.

I have a left hand .22-250 RAR with the 1 in 10 twist.
My solution was to clamp the muzzle in a stationary vise then put a barrel wrench on the breech end. Two turns counter-clockwise and voila, a 1 in 8 twist! As a plus, you get some nice faux flutes in the barrel...
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Yes I want one...preferably stainless.

I met a French guy the other day. I asked him "Do you speak German?" He said "No." I said "You're welcome!"

No surprise there either. You couldn't kill a mouse with a 223, much less a deer. Dang, you got me figured out. A-hole.

Why ever would I buy a Ruger?
Easier to screw a new .22-250 Remington or Ackley custom made barrel on one of my Savage or Remington 700's with the barrel nut. Particularly like the Super match stainless steel Pac-Nor polygonal rifled barrels in 1:9" or 1:8" twist, although I usually match the twist to the bullet I'll be using via a twist calculator.
Factory rifles are such - well, compromises.
Splattering varmints since 1966.

Splattering varmints since 1966. Well since Darrick is talking about a rifle with a barrel nut, why couldn't you do the same thing with a Ruger? The whole American rifle can be had for less money than a custom pre-fit from some cases. Plus the way most of them have been shooting you're not compromising much.

Why not 1:7 or better yet a .243 How about a 7.7" twist in the 243???
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I'd be more into the '250 than the 243, but I can see this costing me a bunch of money.

At 11 lbs naked, BTDT ain't going back. I'll wait until they offer it in the Predator model with that twist. I'm more looking 9 lbs max all up.

That RAR predator .243 with a 7.7 twist at 24-26"heavy barrel would be nice too. I don't mind buying a Boyd's laminate.

Yep! 22/250 in SS with 1/8" twisted, medium weight barrel. I don't mind buying a stock from Boyd's. Truthfully tho, I'd rather have an RAR Predator in 22 Hornet!!!!

I wouldn't buy a Ruger American on a bet. I can't stand plastic stocks or detatchable magazines. I like blued steel and polishing.....not something that looks like it came from a rattle-can. The tang safety is certainly no improvement over Ruger's wing safety.
I love Ruger products and Bill Ruger has made very few mistakes over the years, but I feel this is a big mistake. In an attempt to capture the "cheap" market Ruger has gone too far. This gun will decrease the reputation that Ruger spent decades building. Maybe good for someone else, but not for me.
