so ive decided to do cheap axis build in 22-250 Ackley. ordered a 28 inch bull barrel with target crown from apache. going t put it on a boyds pro varmiter stock. thinking about a millet lrs scope. ive heard people some say this scope is good and some say not so good. I wanna keep this in the 11 to 1200 price range.
Done a few "budget builds" as well, and you should be able to keep it around $1000.00 I would think. May I suggest skipping the Millet and going with a 4-14x Primary Arms FFP or since I see you are getting a 28'' barrel and I assume maybe? using this for PDOG/Varmint Hunting at distance, try a BSA 6-24x from Midway.
Good luck and keep us updated.
Yes sir its gonna be a varmint rifle. What objective lense do you recommendQuote:

For Pdogging something with a little more power since they can get rather small at say 400-500 yards, this isn't to say that the PA Scope wouldn't work just fine because it would. I was just suggesting a few scopes, one FFP the other SFP, that would keep you within budget.
I found a 6-24 bsa on midway for 150. Its the tactical series.
That's probably it. Now go get Strelok Pro for your phone .
Lol i got it earlier. Now to figure out how to use it.Quote:

Would need to know the twist rate
12 twist.Quote:

Ill stick to the 50 to 55 grain bullets. I really like the v max. Ive been ready that the ai needs a slower burning powder is there any truth to this?
I love the vmax...my favorite varmint bullet. They come in 60gr too. As far as a slower burning powder....maybe just a touch but your case capacity isnt greatly different than the standard case(just a few percent)...so the same powders should work just fine. Example...my 22-250 loves IMR4064. Ive got a 220 swift barrel(I havent put on yet)...which is about the same capacity as the 22-250AI, and from what Ive been reading IMR4064 is good in it as well.

Can you use 220 swift data?Quote:

Heres Noslers data http://www.nosler.com/nosler-load-da...on-ackley-imp/ I just happened to be on the site looking for some stuff.

Those 35 and 40 grains are moving
For a budget build the Midway BSA tactical would be a good way to go. In my family I have one on a 243 and my son has one on his 30-06.. There has been at least 1000 rounds shot with them and they still hold zero and track well. Clarity is good up to 20 power then it gets a bit fuzzy.. Plenty enough scope to get you out to 500 to 600 yards.
