rifle recommendations

[Guest sparky]

Im looking for recommendations for a good .22-250 rifle

[Deker 3,478]

They are all good, people will tend to recommend what they have or aspire to!

I had a remmy vssf stuck a jewel trigger on it and loved it........iv got a load of quality reloading kit for the calibre for sale aswell

[GEOFF.223 83]

almost all rifles are good it usually the stock that lets them down.

 

so try and get a rifle that is known to have a good quality stock, bedded free floating little flex etc.

Well that lot where helpful !

 

Tell us some more info.

 

What do you plan on useing it for ? What is your budget

Walking or driving when shooting

Synthetic stocks need less care than wood

New or second hand

 

Hope you buy a winchester 70 as i have a Jewell trigger for one for sale.

I spent stupid money on my first rifle....fantastic stock etc....

 

Regret it now!

 

I wont use it when it rains, stress about getting it damp etc!

 

All my guns/rifles now are 'rough and ready'

[Guest sparky]

its to be used for fox control, both in a vehicle and walked,

my intention was to buy new

im leaning toward a synthetic stock model and threaded to accept a sound moderator

Thanks.

Watch weight for walking, you wont need a big barrel profile. For car use short barrel 20-22".

 

For a new rifle there's not alot more to add pick what you like/can afford.

I've got 3 rifles, all in s/s and with laminated stocks, just 2 pretty to knock about though.

My Ruger with Nylon stock in brushed stainless is the 1 I use for the rough stuff.

 

I not trying to point you towards ruger but another example is I "loaned" my .22 ruger balistic N stock s/s barreled gun to a farmer of mine, he bought it off me eventually. Both his sons learnt to shoot with it and it gets ragged around in the tractor cab.

 

It's still presentable and of course rust free 25 years later.

 

Truth is any manufacturers gun will do the job, get what ever standard of gun takes your fancy. To be honest unless you are determined to buy new, it may be down to what ever crops up in your search.

Have a sieve through Gunstar and Guntrader, new and used on there.

was told the best 22-250 to get was a cz

 

something to do with the way the barrels are made as the 22-250 is a fast round etc etc

CZ barrel manufacture is copied from Steyr's, so on your logic a Steyr rifles would be better ?

[GEOFF.223 83]

my logic is not explained as i said i was told it.

 

can cz not be innovators of the steyr design and make it better? yes,no, maybe

 

until you test to destruction we will not know and for the the difference there will be you will only be paying for the name (steyr)
