Tom I have collected pre 64 M70's for decades. The 250 has a 1 in 12 twist rate and even with careful hand loading groups were bigger than I like as it's to slow a twist rate to stabilize 100gr bullets. I also sold two 7MM mausers (7x57) a std rifle and a carbine but I still have a carbine and it's a great deer rifle. Also sold std rifle in 35 Rem but rest easy as this purest still has a dozen or so left. including a 300 Savage, only about 360 built
