You buy another one in a different caliber.
I purchased a Cabelas exclusive Model 16 FHVSS, in .223, last May. This is the medium-heavy fluted stainless varmint with the AccuStock. At the time of purchase, I did a coin flip between the .223 and 22-250. Like my other Savages, it shoots very well. I've posted a couple of the groups, in other posts, in the reloading section.
This is the rifle, shortly after purchase. I've since replaced the Banner with a Nikon 4-12 BDC Prostaff.

It shoots so well - I posted a .110", 3 shot group, a couple of weeks back - I decided I needed another. So, Cabelas got another shipment in, this last week, so, yesterday, I came home with the 22-250 version.

I had assumed these had Savage's standard 22-250 twist of 1:12. Interestingly enough, I was perusing Cabelas website, this morning, and these 22-250's come with the faster 1:9 twist. So, it should be able to shoot the Sierra 69 MK, though, I expect it to be a bit more finicky with my favorite 52's - the A-Max and SMK.
They also had $50 instant savings on Nikon scopes, so, I picked up another Prostaff 4-12, for it. The big problem - I cannot find 22-250 brass anywhere in town. I finally ordered some from Midway.
Another barrel to break in.......
