rifle manufacturers.

Hi all,

 

I have had my variation meeting and I am awaiting my ne license, I have asked for a 22-250 which the fire arms chap said should be ok and that he would recomend me for it. I am now looking for a new rifle, in 22-250 calibre. I have a cz 453 in .22 and like it very much but I dont know very much about the larger calibre and manufactures.

 

I want a synthetic stock, its just for field use, mostly shooting out of a truck.

 

I have been looking at the browning, remington tikka and howa ranges what is peoples experience of these? is one far superior to the others in terms of accuracy and build quality?

 

I am looking at spending up to £1,000 excluding glass.

 

Thanks for your help.

I can only comment on my Howa 1500 in 22-250 with laminated stock and heavy barrel and I think it is a great rifle and accuracte straight out the box is brilliant. I think the rifle was about £550 then by the time you add on a £250 for the silencer and £ for a bipod and a few boxes of ammo, that is you at £1k without the scope and scope mounts. In fact I prefer it to my Steyr Mannlicher Pro Hunter in 6.5x55 which was a lot more expensive.

Thanks Dave,

 

The £1,000 s just for the gun not glass or silencer etc. Having looked around that eans that most makes are open to me.

 

I like the look of the Howa and it seems very good value for money.
