It is odd shooting something so blast offensive that has very little recoil. My last one was a braked 15" .22-250 AI handgun, no fun to shoot at all! Roman said it was like someone slapping you in the face with a wet towel. lol

Doug once briefly had an old 03' custom thumbhole .22-250 with an antique Lyman 36X on it. The eye relief was about 1". Every time I'd shoot the 10 lb. beast it would peck my glasses. They do have minuscule recoil.

Will a 22-250 AI stay with a 220 Swift or a 204 Ruger? (nm) - Andy S, 2018-04-27, 20:43

- It can beat both. Tops the .220 a bit - WB, 2018-04-27, 21:37
