I have a varmint RRA 223 that is more accurate than I am so looking for something a touch bigger.


I have several Mark X actions and a couple of stocks for drop in so looking at a std bolt face. May need to see about swapping for a short box mauser bottom metal.

My old 22-250 is a slow twist was thinking about something with a faster twist in case I want to shoot heavy bullets at deer. Yes I know the simplest and cheapest would be simply a second 22-250. But what fun is that.

So what would you build on a std face bolt and taking in consideration you might want to toss a heavy bullet now and then. Most shooting would be Prairie dogs
