bigrich wrote:okay fellas, finally got a great old krico 600 in 22-250. wasn't expecting much out of a old 250, but yeah . the barrels shot out. erratic grouping at 100. so, these krico 600's also came out in 243 and 308. was thinking if i re-barrel, why not jump up to 243.already checked and 243 rounds fit the mag no worries. bear in mind i already have 6.5 swede rifle, 30-30 and a great 22 hornet. opinions ?

good point Oldbloke, but some of us just think if one is good two is better and three is much better and four is, well much better again
bigrich wrote:Yup, thanx for the input stix . Sticking with 22-250 is the smart move. Just wanted to go over this again to make sure before rebarrelling. That range of calibers does give me a nice spread. That krico hornet rifle has gone to gunsmiths to have a mag feed issue sorted, but mate, it was shooting clovers leafs at 50 on a new barrel and my skills ain't up there yet. Definitely a keeper. Got a krico in 22lr coming as well that should be a great thing
