[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1238545, member: 22069"] I built a 22-250 on a BRNO 98/22 action and really like it. Mine has a 12 twist 26" #4 Shilen barrel on it. It does its best work with RL-17 and 53 VMAX or 69 SMK's. The beauty of the Mauser action is that you can load whatever bullet you want, to whatever length fits in your chamber, and still feed from the mag. I think 26" is a good barrel length for 22-250. The #4 profile heats up pretty quickly, though, so if you plan to do any sustained shooting, I would go heavier. The '98 Mauser action isn't known for its rigidity, though, so you have to be careful how much barrel you hang on it. Something close to a Remington varmint contour, such as a #7, should work well. If I had it to do over again, I would go with the AI chamber and an 8 twist, along with the heavier barrel mentioned above. My rifle wears a B&C stock w/aluminum bedding block. A laminate stock with a good bedding job would work well also. To give you an idea of what the finished product might look like, here is a pic of my rifle: [/QUOTE]
