ArmednFree: For that money, if I were you, I would do what I do when perusing 22-250 Varmint Rifles!
And that is, look on the used market for a lightly used Remington 700 in any one of the many heavy barrel models that Remington offered over the decades last.
I have 9 (nine) of these currently, including a Remington 40XB, and each and every one of them shoots VERY well.
Best of luck to you whichever way you go - the 22-250 Remington is an outstanding cartridge.
