    Gunsmithing Converting a .22-250 to .308

    Re: Converting a .22-250 to .308 This is all good news- should be cheaper than expected for once. I was hoping to find a fluted matte-black heavy barrel with the same contour as the original remmy barrel but if I can do it alot cheaper by being less specific maybe I will. I don't want to wait...

    Gunsmithing Converting a .22-250 to .308

    Advice on my first rifle

    Re: Advice on my first rifle Couple things I forgot to mention/ask: 1.) I do reload 2.) If I get an aftermarket barrel who makes a good one for the money? 3.) I hear nothing but great things about savages and am sure they go toe to toe with remington (many people say even better) as far...
