Used to love a Remington 700 SPS Varmint. Then I tried out a T3 for big game, liked it so much I traded the SPS on a T3 Lite SS. I've always used .22-250 on varmints.
I'm the opposite. My Remmy in 223 has a 1:12 twist. My son's T3 is a 1:8. Mine groups inside of 1/4" on that suburb day I referred to earlier. Same day, with Tikka...just a hair over a 1" group, which was still respectable. His liked the 55 grain Noslers more. They were just over 3/4"
I wish I had my camera that day. There will be other days.
Sobo thats impossible, Tikka owners say every T3 shoots 1/2 MOA out of the box regardless of ammo.
Surely your son has a Model 70 or something.
240 Wby Mag....55 Grain Pill @ 4100'\per second.....

I like it!
Used to have a Winchester mod 70 in .243, shot like crap, couldn't put 2 rounds within 3" of each other, even after bedding, custom loads etc. Got rid of it for a BLR in 22-250, best move made yet!

I too have an Axis in .223 but all things considered I think if a Blr in 22-250 shows up on the EE I'll make a switch (won't be hard to move the Axis!). I really liking those Brownings lately for some reason. How are you Blr guys finding the 22-250 and 223 lever guns for accuracy as opposed to the bolt action.
