I have a Walmart special rem 700 22 250 that I have been toying with the idea of making a summer project out of. It has the cheap synthetic stock with a sporter weight barrel and has so so accuracy.
I originally just wanted to change the stock and do a Timney trigger but I have been looking into having it rebarreled to something a little heavier. I know the cheaper alternative is to find a take off heavy varmit barrel but I’m open to a custom barrel if anybody has any suggestions. Also is it worth getting the action blue printed while I’m at it? I’m not trying to spend a fortune on it but I also don’t want to cut any corners to save a few bucks if it’s going to be detrimental to the accuracy.
I want to stick with the 22 250 because I love the versatility of the cartridge. That being said I will probably stick to the heavier bullets so from what I have read a 1-8 or 1-9 twist is a good compromise?
I would love to be able to do all the work myself but I realize that some processes are above my skill set. I will be looking for a reputable gunsmith to handle the stuff I can’t. Thanks
