Bear in mind too that a "vintage" .225 will have what we "moderns" consider a slow twist. Fine if all you'll shoot is traditional varmint-weight bullets but if heavyweights (for extra long range or deer hunting) are in the cards you'll be SOL. If starting from scratch, a wise guy will opt for a 1-9" twist minimum.
