One of the biggest advantage of owning a savage is the ability to do barrel swaps with very little investment. I want to caution you of a few things....1. The sort of things that you are doing, if not done properly, can be dangerous to you, physically, and economically. Be sure you do lots of homework, and ask lots of questions, and stop if you have any doubts about what you are doing. 2. I've not personally not built a 22-250 on a long action, so i don't know how well it actually works. If done right it will definately go bang, and will probably eject just fine. However, one of the finer points of custom rifle building is getting the rifle to feed properly and reliably. If you are willing to toy around with different followers, and such, I'm sure you can make it work. 3. Lastly, and maybe the most stern warning I can give you is to apply lots of bug spray before starting your build. If you happen to get bit by the barrel swap bug, it will detrimental to your personal finances as well as those of all of your friends. It can also be damaging to your marriage when you struggle to restrain yourself from making purchases of cool swap barrels. Lastly, you may have trouble keeping your job when you are up all night searching forums looking for cool barrels to swap, and can't be effective in your every day work life. Consider yourself warned. If you need any advice please reach out.
