22-250 deer-varmint rifle - 04/27/17
i've been wanting to buy a 22-250 for targets and varmints, as well as deer (with appropriate bullets) for my grandson. On something of a foolish impulse I bought a used customized Browning Safari with a heavy barrel. Love the cartridge, dislike the bull barrel, so planning to sell it and replace it with more of a "standard" weight.
I have about a dozen rifles of various makes and have reloaded for 35 years. but I'm a bit stuck making this decision. don't want to spend premium money, prefer under $750 sans scope, on this one. Like pre-T3 Tikkas in that range but not keen on their 1:14 twist for using 60+ grain deer bullets, nor newer model Tikkas.
thoughts/recommendations?
