+1, I'd rather carry a 15lb rifle with a laminate stock than a 7lb rifle with plastic. Just not a fan...

Here's another for wood! Of all the rifles in my two safes, only one is synthetic and none are of the laminate type.

Hopefully your going to hand load for that 22/250 gun.? If so here is a load that iv'e been using on coyotes & chucks for the last 25+ yrs or more with great results IMR 3031 33 Grs. over a 53 0r a 55 gr. JHP or the Ballistic tip bullet. using LR CCI primers. Seat the bullet that it barely touches the lands & grooves & sight it in that it is one & a half inch high @ 100 Yds & you will be dead on @ 200 Yds with no holdover needed. you can even use 35 grs. of IMR 4064 with any 53 or 55 gr. bullets & achieve the same accuracy. I hope that this tip helps you out & congrads on your new rifle Enjoy.

Savage standard twist for the .22-250 is 1:12".

My wife runs the same rifle in .223rem, twist is 1:9".

I'm looking at a .300 Savage; how do you rate yours for accuracy?
