[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 458724, member: 29241"] Not saying not to build on your action, but a Remington or better yet a custom action would be an easier platform to modify into an accurate rifle. I have a 22-250AI built on a sleeved 700. It is in a heavy varmint BR stock (like a 700 classic stock but flat 3" forarm.) If you are going to walk around with your rifle, you probably will have to sacrifice accuracy-due to light overall weight-You cannot have everything. Depending what you intend to do with it determines a lot- a carry around rifle, to hunt what? A 22-250 is not a deer rifle, and a 260 is questionable especially at distance. The heavier and stiffer the barrel the more accurate, but there is a tradeoff. The only advantage of a light gun is its ease of carry and handling at the expense of accuracy. Also, I do not like forming brass. Most people dont. The AI chambering does increase capacity but a lot more work. When your primer pockects stretch (from maximum loads) you will hate to throw your brass away and start over. You can get 3950-4000fps with 55 grn bullets in the 22-250 AI. You can also get 4100fps in a bone stock 243 with 55grn bullets. A lot to consider, I know. [/QUOTE]
