Let me know what you want for the 22-250. I have a buddy who may be interested.

Scrubbed the bore last night and wow!!! Was there a lot of copper in there. Holy smokes I couldn't believe it. Never seen a barrel that bad. Anyways that thing is shining now. I can't wait to try her out.

Some one please explain how the copper got in the bore, it was a new rifle right.   Thanks
