A couple years ago I screwed together a pair of LH Savages, one in 260 and the other 22-250, both use Shilen Select Match 24" barrels.
All I've done with the 22-250 is punch paper, but this morning I used it for it's intended purpose. It was built as a pack around coyote/groundhog rifle. At 9lbs 4oz it's not a light weight but compared to my 12lb+ mdl 12 22-250 it's a featherweight. Normally I'd use the heavy rifle here but have let myself run out of ammo for it.
This morning this little groundhog came out in the beanfield behind my shop so I grabbed the mdl 10, the rests and got set up.
He was 434 yards. In the first photo you can see my shop on the hill in the background, that's where my bench is set up.

… an older and well scuffed up savage model 12 single shot with a barrel thicker than anything I've ever seen and the real wood target type stock with a very comfortable palm swell vertical grip. .220 swift. I had never got the point of the fast .22s when 6mms exist…until
