[QUOTE="raider1v1, post: 1670924, member: 2886"] oh man. something i can actually help on! so for this, since hes looking at 22-250, id suggest a 6 creedmoor. the reason is that what i use, a 1:7.7 243, i have to load ammo for, its not available off the shelf. the 6 creed has a nice selection of good ammunition that should take him out past 600yds. i use my 243 out to 1050 or so before it starts to be effected by the wind quite a bit. if he hand loads, the options open a bit more, but the .243/6 creedmoor combination is very hard to beat. a bit down, and you are in 220 swift/22-250 territory, but factory loads are limited for long range. up a bit is 6.5x284 and that is solid hand-load territory.
