25 Creedmoor Thread

Have you ever had issues with the Canadian barrels. I was speaking to a gunsmith, he said all Canadian barrels are crap.

I’ve used barrels from ibi, ks arms, crb, bartlein, benchmark, brux, hells canyon, kreiger. I can tell you absolute certainty that I’d look for another gunsmith. Having a preference to say bartlein or benchmark over a Canadian barrel is fine, if you’ve had good luck or success with them then I get it, you’ve built trust in that product. But to say they are crap is a joke. Some of the best shooting barrels I’ve ever seen were ks barrels. Ibi barrels have won the last 2-3 years at the v2 finale (top shooters in the states/canadian).

Hi everyone, I am new the forum. Glad someone started this thread as I am looking to build a 25 creedmoor off a Rem 22-2250 action that I have. Looking for any recommendations on a barrel to use and where to get it in Canada. Any advise is welcome.

Since you are new, I assume you meant 250 Savage AI? It's been around since Newton designed the 250-3000 for Savage around 1917: some "designers" in the 21st merely plagiarized and slapped on it the name of a once famous range from Long Island.

And Gary Eakin at Bighorn (BC) can set you up with a .257 cal barrel: Benchmark is a fine contender.

I am not sure why are state the Creedmoor is plagerized, it is a necked down 6.5 Creedmoor which is based off the 30TC, not the 250 /3000.
As far as the name goes, the history of the reason the 6.5 Creedmoor was designed and why the name was chosen is interesting , and it didn't come out of the Hornady advertising department as most people think.
if I were to chose between the two, shooting factory ammo is an option for the 25 Creed, not so with the 250AI
Hell,I don't even own a rifle in a .25 caliber cartridge anymore and have no intention of owning another one, I think I'll just sit back and watch.......

You can shoot factory ammo in a 250 AI. Good luck finding some though. I've owned a few 250's over the years, std and improved. Great cartridge, but not easy to find ammo for anymore. The CM will certainly be easier in that regard. - dan

Yes you can Dan, but there is a reason you can't find factory 250 AI- because it was never made.
I owned one for while in a Highwall action, fun cartridge, but you are absolutely right the easy button for sure would be the 25 Creedmoor if a person was to look at owning either.
