Reply With QuoteVery nice on both of them. What is the twist on the 22-250?
I had wanted a 6.5x284 for a long time and my first thought was put it in a target action but after lots of researching found out that I would have to take the bolt out if I didn't fire the round and I didn't want to do that. We started out with a normal savage 110 270 stager feed that I bought from a buddy of mine for $300. I bought the gun because I wanted to build a long range rifle that I could hunt with too. called Jim at nss and he walked me through ordering my barrel in 6.5x284 bull that is 28 in long he said it would take 9 weeks to come in. I had order the action wrench, new recoil lug, nut wrench and barrel nut to go with it. Well that was way too long to wait so I started looking around the classified for used barrels. I found a 22-250 barrel and I had a bunch of brass just sitting waiting to get reloaded so I bought it. I then had to call Jim and told him I need all of my other stuff so I could switch over the new barrel. My 22-250 barrel come in and that night I installed it on the actions without any problems. I bought new choate tactical from midways and I had a sweet looking and shooting gun. In the mean time still waiting for my cbi barrel to come in I bought a 308 axis and switch it over to a 243 for my daughter to shoot. Well the day finally come my CBI barrel was here but I had a big problem on my hands do I take the 22-250 off the action and just shelf that barrel or start looking for a new action. Well I went with the second choice and bought a new 30-06 center feed dbm for the donor action. I bought a Choate sniper for the 22-250 and put the new action and the CBI barrel in the tactical stock. Well after some load work up its shooting good for the conditions I was in. Here are some pic not the greatest but best I can do for now. No pic of the axis looks like everyone else's
22-250 (blued barrel) has a 12x super sniper and 6.5 (stainless) has primary arms 4x14. Both have bigger bolt handles aswell.
I am going to go with 51 or 51.2 gr 4831sc

Nice rifles wn40!
Which of those Choate Stocks do you like more? One of those might be a purchase down the road...
Common sense is not common
They look awesome! I have the choate you have on the 6.5....its kinda heavy but I like it.
Nice builds!

I'm the Boss. I make sure what she wants gets done.
i feel like the tactical shock is more ridge in the forehand which makes it I think shoot better. That just my opinion. The sniper stock twisted a little with the bipod attached and I feel no twist in the tactical stock. But I do like that thr sniper has adjustable butt pad and check riser that come for factory.Originally Posted by Pet-Rock
