I like it. Any idea what it weighed without the scope?

22-250AI Hart Rem magnum contour 8 twist, 22" McMillan compact in Rhino camo pattern ADL Triggertech trigger Holland .250 lug SWFA 10X Very cool! I've been conjuring a very similar non-ai 22-250. The tube looks a wee chubbier than a Rem Mag contour - likely the compact stock creating that illusion?

I didn't weight it. I wasn't trying for a flyweight rifle this time. It balances great, just slightly muzzle heavy. If I knocked an inch off it would probably be perfect with a balance point right behind the front screw.
Skane, I agree.it looks chunky in that stock. I thought I had ordered a Classic but when it showed up I had a compact.

I think it'll work (and looks) just fine. That's the same contour I want to go with and thinking 23"-ish on mine so perhaps I'll end up having flutes cut.

my 7mm-08 is a Bartlein #2, so close to the magnum contour and its in a compact also. I had it fluted, deep, and cut to 21" The balance is really good on that one. ![[Linked Image]](https://s5.postimg.org/voyjhyauv/7mm-08.jpg)

Please God, give me some good tags this year....

Every gun you seem to post is a beauty, this one is no different. That 7mm-08 is really nice too.

358, not jerking your chain, but what do you use the .22-250 for in Alaska??? One of my favorite calibers both std and the AI, but not a fast twist fan...

that is a compact in Woodland Spectre color
Bartlein wouldn't flute the barrel so I had Ryan at Diablo do it.

Thanks for the compliment.

I'll use it for Wolf, Coyote's mainly, but deer and Caribou might also get their turn.
I have it throated for 75 gr A-max's, but I'll work up loads for 62 gr TSX's also.

Great looking rifle!
Did you have a reamer made specific to 75gr Amax or did you use a normal AI reamer and then throat reamer?
I literally dropped off all the pieces for my "Southpaw Sendero" at the gunsmith this weekend-- 22-250AI built to look like the old R700 VS.

The Smith had a reamer on hand that he used. It's one he's used for his own AI running 75A-Max's and promised it would be a hammer. So far I'm really happy. Have only been forming brass so far, but it looks promising.
The best part of this build is that it was 16 days from the time I dropped the parts in the mail until it was back in my hands.
