I’m 63 years old and have been a mild minored moron and rifle looney for-as long as I can remember. One of my favorite rifles is the Remington 700. One of the rifles on my “Bucket List” is the Remington 700 BDL 22-250. When Remington closed its doors I panicked and bought every Remington I could get. I’m old enough to remember the demise of the Winchester 70 in 1964. Value went up. Capitalism is great!!. Said all that to say this… I found a Remington 700 BDL in 22-250 standard weight NITB. The primary purpose of this rifle will be as a varmint rifle, such as hogs, pigs, hogs, pigs and coyotes. I was a little concerned with it being 1-14” because I wanted to shoot 55 grain bullets. I loaded 45 grain, 50grain, and 55 grain per Nosler’s latest edition per the most accurate. I was pleasantly surprised when my best load was 37.5 grains of Big Game with a 55 grain Sierra SP flat base, .433” five shots. I can’t wait to shoot a hog in the ribs and see what happens.
