"Need" a 22-250

[brbo]

I'm in the market for the same type of pkg - I've been looking around and personally my favourite hands down is the Browning X-bolt in .223 - it's lighter than the Tikka and I found the quality and workmanship is head and shoulder of anything else I have handled...

Just putting the money together now - and haven't seen a reason not to go Browning..... is there a reason no one has mentioned it in the comparison to date ??

Thanks

Trust me, you haven't.

Go for a lightweight 22/250. You'll be happy with it. I had this one built with a 9" twist Shilen in MR contour and VXII 2x7.

What length of barrel did you go with? I like the short action.

If you have already bought the rifle why not try it out and see how it shoots?

There was a recent Cabela's flyer that offered the T/C in .22-250 on sale for (I think) $549.

I've never tried that rifle but I am sure you can find some reviews.

I was just mentioning that gun in another thread. I like it. Feels solid and well-made. Going to head down to sort it out for the buyer shortly (friend bought it). Hope it likes the 45gr hp's.

I didn't see any there. I'd like to have any Featherweight.

Been thinking about a Model 70 Featherweight Compact in 22-250,for a walk around rifle myself. Checked one out last time I was in Pud's,nice rifle.

I only paid half of it, it's still on layaway. I picked it out on impulse the store is an hour and a half away so I still have a bit of time to think about it. I can always change my mind in the next two weeks.
