Just a note in reference to a comment. I was on a 3 yr wait for the custom 22-250. The barrel was purchased about 3 yrs ago, so more difficult to exchange for a new twist now. If I was to start today I may very well go with a 1/12 rifling. Anyway the good news is the rifle should be done in another 4 weeks or so. All the metal work is complete & it's mostly the 'birdseye' maple stock being made now. The barrel is a 24" SS Shilen, I think #3 contour. It's being made by a local small time operator who is the epitome of an 'Old World Craftsman'. I have a visit in the next few days planned to go over a few things.
