The one I had was absolutely beautiful. And fairly accurate,more than accurate enough for a hunting rifle. I was getting slightly over 1" groups for 5 shots with most of the ammo I shot through it. Seemed to favour 110gn v max handloads (308)

Or maybe a nice second hand Sako if you can find a good one in your budget.
While you're looking around don't get too hung up if the gun you want doesn't have a threaded barrel, you can get it done with a cap for usually about $100-150.
Happy hunting!!

I’m tempted to ring this bloke and ask him why he considers this a “farm gun or project rifle”
For the right price it may be ok if it didn’t need much work.

Winchester m70 featherweight 22-250
Couldn’t go past a $1800 dollar quote from my lgs.
And considering the tikka’s have recently gone up to about 15-1600 it was more easily justified.
Apparently I’m buying one of the last 250’s before they’re discontinued.
It’ll be a month or more on laybuy once I pay for it and a scope, mounts etc but I’m excited!
Thanks for all the feedback
