[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 870779, member: 30902"] The STW will handle your needs with plenty of power left over. Once you get it and get it broken in, clean the snot out of it and have it melonited. That will extend your barrel life by about 1/3. Barrel life is not a huge consideration anyhow unless you plan to just shoot the hound out of it. Stick to this rule. No more than 3 shots in any five minute period and no more than two shots without at least a five minute cool down period and it will last you forever. Save the 22-250 for shooting PD's unless you want to shoot them beyond 600yds. The most economical route is to cruise the LRH classifieds, Sniper's Hide, and Gun Broker. There was an awfully nice model 70 Laredo that sold for just under 1000.00 last week. If I didn't have all of my disposable income already committed for the rest of the year that sucker would have sold to me for up to 500.00 more. One of the most economical ways to go is to find a used Sendero in 7mm Rem and have it trued up and rechambered for 7mm STW. That should give you a sub MOA rifle for around 1500.00. [/QUOTE]
