I commented earlier that I use a bolt action 22-250 probably 90% of the time. In the last year or so I’ve gotten into thermals and I started it out on a bolt action 17rem of all things. From there I had it on a bolt 223, a bolt 22-250 then a model 7 223 suppressed. About January I hung the thermal on a 16” 223 AR with my suppressor and I might just have found MY perfect set up. With that said I did send a short action rem700 off for a new barrel that’s going to be threaded. But after not using an AR seriously for probably 25 years it’s kind of growing on me. The 22-250 will be used for open country where flat trajectory trumps close in fire power. But that’s just me.
