    Rebarreled to 22 creedmore . 1 in 7 twist 19".
    Weight is 7.5 lbs incl scope.

    A report on how the 22CM goes would be good.

    In our day they called it a 22.250.

    I don't expect there will be any problems with it based on that alone.

    This guy likes them a lot: (skip to 30 min mark where he talks about the Ruger 77's he uses in .308)

    I’ve had a couple of MK2 Rugers first one was .308 and then a 7mm rem mag both paddle stocks. I now only have one Ruger a 7x57 MK1. Been looking for a paddle stock MK2 in 308 though, should never have sold the 308
