You don't have a 25-06?
I think I waited a year and some change for my Rock 9.5 twist 25 cal barrel also.
If I were going to order a 25 cal barrel right now it would be an 8.5 twist. I've had a few through the years and just can't warm up to them. Not sure why.

Not western PA but Clarence Hammonds in Red Lion, PA would be who I would recommend. Great work, short lead times and reasonable pricing. He's been my friend for 30 years and does flawless work. http://benchrest.com/hammonds

Rock Creek did a 5R 9-twist #2 257 barrel for me that I chambered in 250Sav AI - first three shots with Nosler 115's grouped .226 at a 100. You made a good choice with Rock Creek

I like Greg Tannel at Gre'-tan Rifles. There's about a 6-8 month wait though. http://gretanrifles.com/

Dump the entire rifle and get another one.
That action lacks most of the features that knowledgeable rifleman demand on their hunting rifles.
It lacks: A decent three position safety that controls the firing pin, CRF, a bolt handle that will not break off and a safe trigger.
Look at M70's, Kimbers, Mausers etc.
You will get immediate delivery for this season and see what your getting. You are still a fool. Jim Kobe did a great job on mine. ![[Linked Image]](http://i47.tinypic.com/t7lher.jpg) Ruger 99, yes, this one is a mouser.

I have a short action 700 that has a Krieger barrel chambered in a 250 AI. I am tired playing with it and want to rebarrel to a standard 250. Anybody have any gunsmiths to recommend? I am in Western Pa. As I suggested sell that cheap push feed and look at better designs. Just sell that push feed and buy another rifle. Skip the standard 250 as the cartridge is dead and you won't find ammo. Also skip the 1-14" standard twist. Butch's rifle has a good action. It must be a 250 too?
All guns should be locked up when not in use!

I heard Greg Tannel does nice work on rifles, he has bushed 3-4 firing pin holes on Rem bolts for me and has been nice to talk to and a quick turnaround.
