[QUOTE="tug, post: 5138533, member: 4692"] Do you hand load? That will make a difference. As I recall, Tikka made only a handful of heavy barrel 22-250 in 1:8. I would be surprised if you could find one. The later models are lightweight barrels. Which is ok unless you are sitting in a prairie dog town shooting 100 rounds. I have shot the caliber for many decades. Mainly in TX and the west. The bullet selection is super important. I killed many deer with a speer semi point with a slow velocity over 4064. Tons of varmints with a 40 gr ballistic tip over varget. If you are buying a barrel, and you reload, I would suggest a 22-250 AI. If you don't reload, just get a 22-250. I would suggest looking at proof barrels. Cry once. If you want a bull barrel in 1:8, the Tikka in .223 is very good. It will do almost everything a 22-250 will and is easier on the bore. [/QUOTE]
