Which 22 centerfire--which rifle?
I have deceided to go out tomorrow and buy a 22 centerfire.I have pretty much narrowed it down to either .223 or 22-250.Also, to either a Rem. model 7 or 700. I just can't deceide which one.HELP!!

Depends - what is it going to be used for? If you're going to be doing a LOT of shooting with it, go with the .223. There is an overabundance of surplus ammo available for next to nothing if you do some shopping. 0 -
Model 700 because of ease of switching barrels if that becomes a necessity. Either one of the calibers is a great choice for accuracy. The 22-250 will extend you range a bit but the 223 will extend your pocketbook because of so much brass readily available and so many factory loads available at reduced cost. I personally think that the 22-250 is one of the great marvels of firearms!! It shoots flat, is mild recoil and is inheritly accurate!! Come to think of it the 223 fits just what I said but just won't reach out there quite like the 250!! GHD 0 -
I have a Remington Mdl 700 with a heavy barrel and would not trade it for a solid gold pizza!(ireally like pizza too!) Mine is a 223 and it shoots so well i may keep it and buy a 22-250 to sit beside it. i just won't get rid of that 223! If you have to choose between the two, I reckon both are good, and hard to choose between. My choice is the 223 because I have such good luck with that joker. If'n you get a 223, give me a holler on the e-mail and I'll send you a load recipe that works damn good.

Both cal. that you mention are good, but you didn't say what you were going to use it for.If for target shooting, then I would suggest the 223, if for hunting varmits out pass 200 yards then the 22-250. 0 -
I'd look at the 223 and the 22-250 and then get the 243, I know it's not a 22 but after having a 223 and a 220 swift I'll take the 243 any day. Just my two pennies to think about. Good luck with you new gun!

Ditto what Dave3 said. I've had all three; the .223, the 22-250, and the .243. I would go with the .243. But if I just "had" to have a 22 caliber, it would be the .223. 0 -
If you can afford it get all three.That's what I did.Sako, Savage & Savage.

Thank you to everyone for your replys.Went looking today, and have pretty much deceided. I can buy a new mdl. 7 lss in 22-250 for $590. To me this seems to be a great price,and i am going back in the morning to buy it.Hope it shoots well! 0 -
You won't go wrong with the .22-250! I have a couple of ARs and abolt gun in .243. The .22-250 just seems to be more fun and accurate hands down. Beach. 0
