seafire/B17GLong Range Varminter, 22.250
I took a few pictures this morning of the Ruger 22.250 I put together recently....
It has a 24 inch heavy magnum contour stainless barrel on it, one in 8 twist...
The stock is a Boyd's JRS in Grey Laminate...
The action is a stainless Ruger 77 Mk 2.. It has a Dayton Traister Trigger.. the action came from the factory as a 243, so it has a long magazine for long seated match bullets...
The loaded rounds in the album are loaded with 80 grain Hornady A Maxes....
the rifle has two scopes zeroed for it...
One is a Tasco World Class Plus 3 x 9... as shown...
the Varmint Scope is a Weaver V 16, with a Target Dot....

Sounds to me that you have a bean field coastal deer rifle.

HiWallNice looking rifle mate, I like it. Would be interested in hearing how the Hornady 80gr A Max bullets go, been meaning to try them out in my Rem .22/250Ai 1:8 for a while, but am getting good results with 80gr Match Kings.

seafire/B17GCummins,
It shoots just fine, and the barrel being a magnum contoour.. is lighter than a full varmint contour...
it is about a pound to 1.5 pounds heavier than a sporter.. but a pound or so lighter than a varmint weight barrel...
