[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1253979, member: 12995"] Like the others have said, it's a great action to build on. If you are going to go through the trouble, might want to look into the .22-250 Ackley Improved. There are many advantages to AI cartridge design, other than the increased speed, which is also nice. You can even form brass from the .22-250 cases you already have. The only thing you'll need to do different is learn to fire-form brass, and buy some different dies. But if you are wanting to keep it the original .22-250 there's nothing wrong with that either. I had one years ago, and have been wanting to build another one someday. If you plan on pushing the heavier bullets for longer range varmint or deer hunting, you might want to consider a tighter twist, like the 1:7 or 1:8. A good name barrel blank like a Bartlein, Rock Creek, Brux, Proof Research, Krieger, Pac-Nor, Hart, or Shilen are all good options. [/QUOTE]
