Keep us posted on how it shoots. I was just debating a 22BR or 22-250 Striker barrel in my future.

well, with the factory mag/follower etc, it is not to good at feeding, nor ejecting brass. gotta figure out what to do. all new to me.
or just single-shot fumble it.... in that case it won't be a night time coyote rifle.
