Thread: 22-250 std profile, 22-250 Bull barrel or target 308 ?

I have a SPS varmit in 22-250AI that I am pulling of as its a non std cal and won't sell well. I could set the barrel back the length of chamber and ream to std 22-250 (more work as I would have to cut a new thread)

I have a std profile barrel in 223 1:12 twist that I could ream to std 22-250 (have the reamer) and put it in a wood stock I have and the Daughter could use it for a bit then sell it

or I have a hammer forged 1:12/13 target barrel in 308 that is still mint I could fit and leave the std stock on it and sort a load then sell

If I had a 6.5 or 338 barrel lying around I would serioulsy think about SAUM But I dont have either and that would mean bolt modds and I dont have the time to stuff around as I have a couple of others on the go.

Whats your thoughts :-?

Or who has a 6.5 barrel as 260 is also an option...6.5 mmx6mmRemAI (with Mag Modds) or 6mm and 6mmBR and 243AI are options but then back to harder to sell

22BR just to be different - I know you like challenges

If you find a 6.5mm barrel you can use my reamer. After my chamber is cut first of course.

Otherwise .22-250 would be a bit of fun.

Are you building something for Rose specifically?

What about 22-243AI. That would work with your Reamer wouldn't it?

Nah this one will be sold after little use to get some money in to cover other things so will have to be std to get anything from it later

My reamer is a std 22-250 and resale AI is harder to move on, Rose can use it for a bit but it will get moved on.... If I didn't move the 338 barrel I had on to Walker 338 SAUM would have been built just to play...... When this is sold I may get a Marlin 7-08 for Rose to use and have a look at them to play with later....maybee

Kids 6.5BR might get looked at later if I can mod the mag box and ejector bar to fit 260 yet....... (your reamer) then the 338 would be next

22-250 then. Better resale as you said.

7-08 with light bullets would be good for the kids.

If you want to sell it 708 308 223 in that order
If you want to sell it on this forum then probably the latest hot shit wildcat cal

I'll send you a 6br barrel and given its low re-sale value you can then sell it to me cheap...

I may after today have a new trueflite #4 Profile 6.5 barrel you can buy for the same price I got it for. It may be a bit heavy for what I want.

Actualy have a heavy 6.5 shillen ariving today with a 1:8 twist.... so 260 and 6.5SAUM are also options but I wont want to sell it if I use that... and will have more cost so less profit to fund other bits I am after.... Oh the choices
