New Savage Build Ideas

[EMC_Custom]

So I find myself in possession of a new Savage 10 action (308 bolt face) and can't decide what I want to do with it. I've thought about building a 250 Savage with magnum sporter contour barrel in 1-7.5 twist to use a dual purpose rig. ( walking varminter/ Whitetail )
I've also thought about a fast twist 22-250 because I've never own a 22-250.
Feel free to comment with suggestions.

A fast twist .22-250 would be my choice. Or, just go with a .22 Creedmoor. Shooting the 69 grain SBKs or the 75 grain ELD-M for varmints is amazing. Jumping up to something in the 80s would be perfect for deer. I'm waiting on a .220 Swift AI 1:8" to get chambered. But, I'm setup for the Swift.

Another vote for a fast twist .22-250. With proper bullets it will do anything the 250 Sav. will do and make a good walking varminter/deer rifle.

22-250AI would be my choice.

Savage build in progress. McGowan 20-250. This will be my coyote rifle this year.
