new barrel for my .22-250

Ive put a few bullets thru my .22-250 since i got it several years ago. Its a Factory Rem 700 with a Choate stock and a Millett TRS Scope.

Thinking about putting a real barrel on it, Bill in Utica suggested the Factory 700 heavy barrel.
Anybody have any input on this barrel?

Shilen

Mr Doug which would you choose?

If it was me I would go with the Shilen barrel also, however if I had it to do over again I would go with a 1 in 12 or 1 in 9 twist so I could toss the heavier bullets.

As soon as i get caught up on some stuff im goin to order the barrel

Order a kreiger and PM eddybo tell him you can get him a long range place to shoot and he will probably work out a deal.

Most of the kreigers i see are almost $400. Is that the goin price for them??

Can't go wrong with a Schneider or a Krieger barrel for long range shooting they are worth the money.

No you can get one for about 300

320 will get you a kreiger. I have a 22x47 barrel chambered up and ready to be threaded on a remington action. In fact I have 2, one is a 14T and the other is a 7.5 twist. I also have a bunch of brass that is sized and ready to go (900 pieces). I would make you a cost deal on these parts. Labor to headspace and open your barrel channel would be free.

Good gosh a mighty. I told you eddybo was a very kind gentleman.

Will not do any good if he is not a reloader. Recon Wendell will part with his old 14T 220 swift barrel? I could thread that up, but I do not have a 22/250 reamer.

I reload for everything :cheer:

Yeah I bet he wouldnt mind.

Fluted Chrome Moly will take way more heat than the stainless will
