I caved in to peer pressure

All right I did it :D all you buggers here buying stevens 200's and posting about them. Its all your fault. :D :runaway:


went down to P&D and paid $30 more then WSS, but you know P&D has what you want in stock. (they had 6 stevens in 22-250's in stock, WSS 0 :confused:)

So now I have a small rifle to go with the bigger ones. 22-250, fills out the hole on the bottom end of my list, (25-06, 7mmRM, 30-30, 308, 7.62x39, 7.62x54, 303, 300WM)

well the service is always good at P&D, so I picked up a box of 50grn Nosler BT and a bag of brass and a pound of H-380. But when I got home I noticed that I don't have dies for 22-250... Yet. Good thing I also picked up a box of factory ammo to start breaking in the new bore.

so I grabbed a spare scope from my spare parts bin (that was a mistake) and mounted it and went shooting. Well first the scope was crap, I got it last year when I bought my Savage 111FCPX3 300WM package and was used for 40rds of 300WM before it got replaced by a Bushnell 3200. Well scope won't focus anymore and the target was just a big blurry white spot. But I did manage a 1.5" group and all the rounds were in 3" but thats a scope problem not a rifle problem.

So last night it got a better scope, still a spare parts bin scope :redface: but this time its a bushnell 4-10x40, not an elite :redface: but the next cheaper line of scopes. Should be good enough for now.

I'll see how it works out and then post pictures.


oh and 22-250 is way ###ier then 223 :D
 
Two pats on the back for you Woodchopper. One for buying the 200, although I prefer the .223 over the 22-250 (as a truck gun), but hey ... to each his own. The 2nd pat is for buying from somebody other than WSS. About time the shooting community showed them some disrespect back. :pirate: is the new modicon choice appropriate???
 
I checked its a Bushnell Banner 4-10x40 mat black make in Korea. It will do, the repair depo sent it to me as a replacement for a cheap bushnell that was destroyed by the violent recoil my M14 (M305) :)

22-250 is now my rifle of choice for yotes, the 25-06 will now be my primary deer gun, and the 300WM for moose. But you know if I see a yote and I've got the 300WM I'm going to shoot anyways :D

now that I have a small caliber I guess I should look into gopher shooting a bit more.
