RE: Savage 22-250
It's a great rifle. Do you need the 22-250 or would the 223 work just as well for you? I only ask because in my opinion, the 250 isn't worth the extra powder it takes to push the same bullet. I like the 2223 the best, cheaper ammo, cheaper brass and more of it. Less powder when reloading.
There are many on here that will disagree with me on that, but that's just the way I feel. The 22-250 definitely has a flatter trajectory, but it doesn't make that much difference under 300 yards. If you shoot more than that, then maybe you'd want it.
