22-250 barrel question

[565fitter]

I am getting ready to get a new remmy 700 in 22-250. I want to scrap the 14 twist barrel and go to something like 12:1 or 10:1 so I can sling some heavier lead. I am looking for a 20" threaded barrel. anyone have any good manufacturers. if not threaded I can have my gunsmith thread it.

I have used Lilja, Hart (of NY), Brux, and blackstar (out of business). I guess I would suggest you buy the barrel you can get the fastest! There is usually a considerable wait time on barrels. Also its not worth re-barreling with out truing up the action, especially if your using a blank it would be like throwing away money.

I bought from them as well. Good folks!

I've been running Benchmark barrels lately with great success. They are quick to your door, priced great, and shoot extraordinarily well.

thanks guys! I figure the wait will be long with the current panic.

Its not the panic it just takes a long time for quality in most instances.

Why 22-250 vs 223? I started with a Tikka in 22-250 and it was a laser beam. But after I got into AR's, I felt it easier to run 223 for ammo cost. And barrel life, especially if your buying a premium barrel.
Just curious, we all want what we want, just thinking about it.

well a little faster I guess. being a bolt gun I doubt i'll burn up the barrel very quick. I have 2 ar's for that. everybody seams to think the 22-250 is superior to the .223 so I want to try it out.

Just depends on what you are doing. Sometimes the extra couple hundred fps helps, other times it doesn't. Punching paper at 300 yards or less, it probably doesn't matter, and lots of people shoot .223 out much further. YMMV.
