Crap, one of those stainless long actions could become a 6.5 something or other...

I have been watching this for a 25-06. I'll buy one if this works out.

ACTAUL True stainless? Is that JipJappery lanquange? They sound like jerks and to think - they THINK - coated offerings are the way to go says to me they're just GREEDY and DUMB. Hang in there SAS. I'm in for something but lost my HOWA interest today. Things have changed drastically. I'm pissed to say the least. I copied and pasted text from my email below (they misspelled "actual", I didn't).
Thoughts on the chamberings above? I'll back away if you're not interested.
Pretty uninteresting. I was thinking a 6.5x55. Of course still wanting a 1 in 8" 22-250...

ACTAUL True stainless? Is that JipJappery lanquange? You know, as opposed to ACTAUL false stainless, aka Cerakote/stainless, which is just as good as ACTAUL true stainless because it's really only the color that shooters are interested in... LSI isn't doing the Howa name any favors. Unfortunately, sas is getting caught in the middle of them not knowing the difference between stainless and coated chrome moly.

What's the big problem with cerakote? other than looks?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

So when they say stainless/cerekote do they mean chromoly steel with silver paint on it. The main reason I like stainless is the corrosion resistance inside the bore so slapping some silver cerekote on the outside doesn't do much for me. Do any gun companies have employees that actually shoot or know anything about guns? This is almost as frustrating as typing this message from my iPhone on the crappy camp Fire was. I miss the old days when stainless was stainless and the campfire worked.

Or maybe gold? LOL Better than? Wow...
Still, gotta say the Lightning for $343 shipped is a bargain from Whittaker Guns. Only ones I have seen around here are wayyy above that.

The bore matters the most. Everything else is just window dressing, as nice and pretty as it might be....

Anybody know if the 22-250 has the same mag-box and follower as the ones for the 308-based chamberings?

Hmmm That could an interesting Q & A... I hadn't considered in looking at a 22-250 for a rebore/rebarrel platform.
Might should using a "any caliber" LA instead, even for a 308 based round & be able to seat looong heavy for caliber Bergers.

Still interested, 22-250 and something larger, probably a 06 to rebarrel.

If I were looking for a donor, either SS, blue, or the coated ones would be okay. Still a good deal in any case.
As a side note; when I picked up my Victory .22 on Thursday, my FFL guy said the price I paid Whittakers was less than his wholesale cost. Nice little pistol too.
