New Varmint Gun

[duckhunter175]

Just got the barrel in from Pac-Nor-- it's a #5, 26", 1-8T, 5 groove. It is going to sit in a McMillan A3 sporter.

Still planning to go with the 22-243-- I have a ton of brass and love the velocity available across a wide range of projectile weights.

I'll be taking this project to the gunsmith when I go pick up my other current project!

Will do!! I have all the parts now but the scope---- still debating on that. Rifle will be varmint/predator hunting and maybe small southern whitetails.

Leaning towards a 6-24x Vortex HSLR FFP. I have the 4-16x and love it.

Well-- A little over two years and this project is finally complete!

Changed some parts out here and there. And as a southpaw I decided that I wanted a "right handed" gun. The build ended up being a replica Remington 700 VS but in Left Hand and with a few tweaks under the hood.

22-250ai- Fully blueprinted
Bartlein 1-7" Rem Varmint Contour, 26"
- Threaded, blended thread protector that is SEAMLESS
HS Precision SA Varmint stock
Timney Trigger
Cerakote that was carefully matched to the original Rem 'matte'.

All work done by Alamo Precision Rifles- will post pics as soon as the bolt is back from Jeweling (I did say it's a replica right?)

A few boxes of 80gr ELDMs waiting and a few 90gr Sierras as well.

Sounds like a good build! Hornady just released the 88gr eld match. And they are in stock at midsouthshootersupply.com
I just ordered 500 hopefully they shoot as good as the two you listed. You might want to check them out

Very Nice looking Rifle!!!!! I like your choice of calibers, & approve of the "fast twist" barrel!!!! Good Luck with your new stick!!!! Idaho-5R

Good cartridge choice! I'm a big fan of the 22-250 AI. A 95smk at 3200 is nasty!

Great looking rifle! Should deliver some good coyote medicine.
