[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 2059892, member: 22069"] I love the 22-250 as a cartridge, but am frustrated by the factory rifles chambered for it. The SAAMI-specified standard 1 in 14 twist is hopelessly obsolete. Even in the 50-60 grain range, most bullets of modern design work poorly with that twist rate. If you shop carefully, you can find a very FEW models of factory rifles with either a 12 twist or a 9 twist, both of which will allow you to use a wide selection of bullets. In the current climate, though, availability of those models may be sketchy. Depending upon your budget and your level of patience, searching for a bargain on a used rifle and putting an aftermarket barrel on it might offer more satisfying results. Either way, my advice is to avoid buying a 14 twist 22-250. Happiness with a 22-250 comes from having the right twist rate. [/QUOTE]
