1shooter's gun

[bucksnbears]

shooter, went out today and bought that steven's 22-250 for>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.199.99 . got home, dismantled it painted the stock, same as always mounted a burris 3x9 and will shoot it as soon as the wind goes down. hope it shoots like my other savage (stevens are the same other than a few changes).

Bucks, I thought you said it was a .223?! Aren't the Stevens' triggers pretty rough?

[bucksnbears]

when i posted it there was only a .223 and .243 and they went out the door real fast. a local sportsman club put a hold on a 22-250 but never came to get it so LUCKY ME yeah, the trigger aint great but doable. it's actually a comfortable gun to hold. had to trim out the barrel channel to free float the barrel.

Nice work bucks. Shooter, you can always get a trigger lightened up a little. I will send your package today, so it should be there in a few days.

With a new gun, i sure hope i dont ever hear another story of a hit coyote getting away We can talk hand loads when you get a chance and hopefully get that gun to put a hurt on some fur

With a little time and a hone, the Stevens trigger really comes around. I got mine down to a nice, crisp 2.5lbs.

Hey Bucks you made that stevens look pretty sharp. I have a friend that has a stevens 22-250 and he is really pleased with it. They are a whole lot of gun for the price thats for sure. Can you pick up any more for that price or was that a one time deal.

[bucksnbears]

50 grain ballistic tips. 1/2 inch group at 106 yards. not TO bad for a 200 $ gun if they had more i would get as many as i could get my hands on. cb186, howd you do the trigger???

[Daryl]

So is your gun bucks or 1Shooter's new gun ????????????

[bucksnbears]

it's the wifes

[Daryl]

Oh OK. I was just trying to figure out since it is under the 1Shooters new gun forum if you picked it up for him or yourself..
GOTCHA..

[bucksnbears]

i was trying to get 1shooter a gun but all they had was .223 and 243. he was set on a 22-250 and there were none available. this was kind of a fluke thing. soon as Denise held it she said she really liked the way it felt so ....... her gun has been jambing latley and cost her a coyote last sat. so i guess this is her new gun. for the $, i really like how well balanced it is. i've talked to 1 shooter on the phone and think he's onto a couple of deal himself.

Well, with alot of help and generosity from members on this site, here she is boys! Brand new in box Savage 12 .22-250 topped off with a Simmons ProSport 4-12x40 AO. I robbed the bi-pod off the .30-06 just for now until I can get one put on the .22-250 for good. Sometime this year I'd like to camo-up the stock. I'm going to break in the barrel tomorrow night at silverdog's house and he'll help me get it sighted in well.

Sorry the picture isn't very clear, but my real camera broke awhile back and I haven't replaced it yet. Let's hear it for the guys at coyotehunter.net!

Thats awesome. I wish you luck Kyle and someday we WILL get together and kill something..

You're dang right man, we've still got to do that sometime. How'd the Balta tourney go Daryl? How does everyone else here break in a new barrel? I've heard shoot it once, clean barrel with patches until the patches come out clean, shoot it again, clean it again until patches come out clean, etc. etc. and I've also heard shoot it 3-5 times, cleaning after each group of 3-5 shots until the patches come out clean. Could a guy just use a bore snake instead of patches and what do you other guys do to break in a barrel?
