That's about what I was thinking, unless you're sitting on a pile of Lapua brass.

For what you're talking about doing, I'd likely just give it to Pac-Nor.
Or sell me the Remington and buy what you want... It's not very accurate as it is, that's one of the reasons I had considered making a project out of it. What??? A Creedmoor that’s not very accurate? Oh, the agony! FWIW, Creedmoor’s, spandex, and bicycles go together like toast and jam.

Is this as simple as a rebarrel? Or will I need a new extractor, mag follower or anything else? If we have a good gunsmith on this site, I'd like to use a member of the 'fire family. Most likely just a rebarrel. The 22-250 case has a bit of taper but I doubt that will hinder feeding so mag box and follower will likely be fine. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS You may possibly have to change out the follower but I'd consult a gunsmith on that and definitely try it before I switched it out. Simple job...Ive done a few like it myself..... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/MDOiVDO.jpg)

I used to have that sort of luck but it appears to have moved on to someone else finally...

if you want a standard 22-250 just build it , i have a couple 22-250`s , they shoot very well , ammo and brass for a 22 -250 is easy to find also . good luck ,Pete53

I have noted a goodly number of positive Shaen mentions on this site. I just did a quick search of his posts. In a recent thread he said all Remington 700 are varying degrees of garbage. Right off the bat he has honesty working in his favor. Garbage that shoots under MOA with a good barrel. Shilen 8 twist. Should keep you in the half inch range with no other work on the gun I'd bet. Bet it will feed etc... just fine.

Gee, I never realized this was such a complex deal.
What I have noticed over the decades is that most rifles feed the standard .22-250 very well, and a few don't. Often those that don't can be fixed with a little tweaking of the follower spring--but not always. But just about all usually feed ".250 Improved" cases well, include the .22 Creedmoor and the .22-250 AI.
Personally I would probably do a .22-250 AI, both because .22-250 brass is relatively cheap and inexpensive (at least in the "normal" times between political panic-buyings), and because .22-250 factory ammo (ditto on availability) can be used in a properly dimensioned AI chamber.

Just curious, but why the 22-250AI? Better case life, less stretching/trimming, or more fps?

All the above, but less trimming is number one for me.

Thanks for the feedback gents. It sounds like a pretty straightforward process.
