My 250 Savage is a pre64 M70 and the twist rate won't stabilize the heavier bullets. It takes very careful hand loading to get group of an inch to inch and a half with a 100gr bullet.. I have seriously considered selling it and buying something else or going to a custom build but I like nice wood stocks and that drives up the cost,. I saw a Rem 700 on GI but it's gone now the search will continue.
