Alpha Mule Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Anyone have or know of a full setup 22-250 (scope and mod incl.)? I've been on gunshop, guntrader, Gunstar, etc. There are some nice ones there, but are either a bit expensive or don't have the glass and mod. I must admit that I have a fantasy about having one with a barrell that hasn't had thousands of rounds down it and looks like a mirror. Any ideas (not including buy a 222/223/243/// instead )?

Mr_Logic Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 You're onto a hiding to nothing trying that, I suggest saving up for a larger budget to do it right, once. WIll be easier, and cheaper in the long run too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Buy a Remington 700. Wait a month and then buy a scope. Wait another and then buy a Mod I'd say £1000 would be a minimum spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewsher500 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 you can get some bargains out there. I picked up a full 243 set up with scope mod, sling and 50 factory Sako/Privvi rounds for £400 already had a mod and scope so sold those for £230. If you factor in the ammo I got the rifle for £90 shoots very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) I've fallen into the 'cheap and cheerful' trap before. Not to say that you can't get a bargain, or that any of the above aren't a good purchase, but I'll certainly think twice before buying again. As with any of the fastest flinging rifles, a bargain 22-250 is something to be cautious of. Edited September 20, 2011 by Billy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 If you find one make sure it has a warranty regarding accuracy. 1 inch at 100 yards is fine. Most 22.250s are sold for a reason, usually people trading up to more accurate calibers. Now there are some accurate 22.250s but I have seen/owned far more less than good ones than good ones. Why do you want a 22.250?, you realise that unless the rifle weighs 14lbs plus you wont see many impacts as the recoil lifts the rifle and scope off the target.

A I have a lightweight 22-250 and there's hardly any recoil. I don't really get what you mean though. it's as if you're implying that the recoil will move the POI beyond what you had zeroed the rifle. If the recoil affects the POI, you'd have accounted for that when you zeroed the rifle. 99% of the recoil will be seen/felt after the bullet has left the barrel, so it could jump 10" up and it'd not make any difference.

CZ550Kevlar Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 you can easily pick up clean not high used .22-250`s easily for £300 and yes you can find a half decent scope for the other £100 but it`s the Mod that is the problem, plus in all honesty if my .22-250 is anything to go by Mod or no Mod it still is bloody loud.

Billy. Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Why do I seem to own a quiet, low recoil 22-250?! Anything to do with owning a .270? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Yes Even though I've not shot it for about two years? Edited September 22, 2011 by Billy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Why do I seem to own a quiet, low recoil 22-250?! Anything to do with owning a .270? I'd say you've hit the nail on the head there. The .270 in my opinion is a horrible calibre from the angle of the man firing it! It's loud, kicks like a mule.... Need I say more? Sure it does the job but my god I've fired some hefty rounds in my time and that was one of the worst! If you can let a round off from your .22-250 and hold a sight picture so you see the impact... Well you're a better man than me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie g Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) well i have a 22/250 and seen many hits when shooting at foxes and rabbits. as for accuracy there as accurate as any other rifle in the 22 cf range for vermin and foxing Edited September 22, 2011 by jamie g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
