I have a savage 10 max 1 (accustock) 223 in great shape, shoot great, as good as 1/4 MOA with SMK's. I also would like a 9" twist 22-250. School budget wont allow both. Would like to work some sort of trade if there's interest and availability.
Assuming there's probably a savage somewhere...
My Savage Predator Hunter Max 1 in .223 has a 1 in 9 twist barrel. Are you possibly thinking of changing to a 1 in 8 or 1 in 7 twist barrel - I know I am and leaning towards the 1 in 7 for the heavy bullets. Best of luck with your search.
Sorry - I mis-read the post. I think the 1 in 9 twist in a 22-250 should about as good as it gets for that caliber. Thinking about calling Savage to see what they would charge to build such a rifle.
savage has produced the 22-250 in a 1-9, I have one, it shoots 70 vld I will have to dig out targets to verify 3 n same hole with 2 touching...just checked savage site, they offer still offer one of the "12 models in the 1-9
Yeah savage shoot very well in my experience. Mine shoots great and the accutrigger is set at 1.5# I just wanted a new profile and the extra velocity on the long bullets. Savage varmint lp and others are available in 9" so I thought I'd see what's out there.
I have rechambered several 1-9" ROT Stevens 200 223 barrels to 22-250 for Savage 110 series and Marlin X guns. Shot 2 does down by Cedar Creek, NE, in November with a 22-250 Marlin XS7 that has a rechambered Stevens 200 223 barrel installed. These are the easiest to find and cheapest to buy 1-9" ROT .224" bore barrel that I've found for a Marlin X, Savage 110, or Steven 200 application. I'm getting MOA groups with the 60 grain Partitions at around 3,400 fps with H4895.

Thanks for the info. I'll look them up.
If I remember right Savage item number 18468 is a repeater with a 1 in 9 twist barrel and Savage item number 18148 is a single shot (probably right bolt/left port) with a 1 in 9 twist barrel. Best of luck with your search.
