So I’ve got my 204 AI, and I love that thing. It’s a screamer, and shoots lights out.
But this morning, I took advantage of buying a Rem 700 in a 22-250 with a shot out barrel.
Im sure you can prolly see where this is going.. But I can’t take it any longer. I’ve had the 20-250 bug for a couple years now. So when I found that rifle this morning I couldn’t get there fast enough to get it bought.
I may totally fail at this, but I’m hands down going to give it all I’ve got. I was just hoping someone here, has been around one or messed with one personally. My dad, Andy Laughlin, said he thought that maybe DAA had one.
My main questions are barrel length and bullet selection.
My goal is not to push big heavy bullets, Im looking at 50gr MAX bullet weight. I’d like to stay around the 40-45gr range if possible. I was thinking about a 24”-26” Lija or Shilen barrel in 1:14 or 1:16 maybe.
I’ll have the action trued and bedded. Most likely a Jewel trigger because that’s what I run in every rifle, other than I’ve real been thinking about trying out a Timney. Yadda Yadda Yadda, the rifle will get the works.
I just need some help and advice on bullet and barrel length selection.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated guys. Thanks!
