[QUOTE="Knothead08, post: 746233, member: 52461"] Ladies and Gentlemen, I currently have a Winchester Model 70 Heavy Varmint (similar to stealth with a stainless barrel) chambered in 22-250 rem. I used the rifle in competition for a few years and the throat on the barrel eroded to the point our gunsmith said it is no longer safe to shoot. The delema I have is that with the large quantity of accurate short action rounds available I am unsure what I want to rechamber it in when I get a new barrel. Will probably use the rifle for varmint/target shooting out to ~400 yds depending on what caliber I go with. I have no problem with rebarreling in 22-250 but would like other opinions on other calibers to consider. [/QUOTE]
