Default Shortest Barrel on a 22-250 Rem

What is the shortest barrel that can be used on a 22-250?

What is the standard?

Thanks

Tom

standard I think is 24" some have 26" I know guys who have had rem. 600's in 222 rechambered to 22-250 (18.5" barrels), they lose a bit of velocity but shoot well, only they lose 150 fps or so of mv.

I have a Lone Eagle hand gun with a 10" barrel in 22-250 and a 14" barreled Competitor hand gun in 22-250ai

I think that Savage 10 predator comes in a 22" if your looking for a production rifle, I looked at that when I was looking into my Coyote gun but I ended up going with a Remington 700

I would think a short barreled 22-250 would be pretty loud...

I mostly see 26", some make a 22"

I think it would depend on what you wanna do with it, I think if I wanted a short barrel for closer range yotes, etc...ie under 300yds I'd get a 22" in a .223 Rem.

If I wanted a long range varmint setup or for yotes out further I'd get a 26" and use the extra speed of the .22-250rem., or a .243win.

From factory offerings, 24 & 26" are the most common. If I were wanting anything shorter than 24" I'd probably step down to a 223 Rem.
