Idea on a rifle?

Funny, I was gonna suggest the 222 rem. I have a rem 722 chambered for it, and it's a real sweet gun to shoot. Or to be real different, a 22 savage hp. It'll fling a 70 gr bullet over 3000 fps: something a 222/223 wont do, and is very similar to what a 22-250 can do.

Never shot a 25-06
 
If you get on the net you can find all sorts of aftermarket stuff for Savages. I used a Hogue stock on my built-up Savage. The suggestion is to look at what's out there that you can use. Do some shopping. Sometimes people do back flips building a firearm. Much of the drama is unnecessary.
 
Found a 25-06 barrel from a generous man. $35 shipped.
Found 60 rnds of brass from another generous man for $8 shipped.
And bullets, have some coming from yet another generous man. $25 shipped
So far only have $228 in this unfinished rifle
 
Interesting you would mention the .225 Win. because it has long been one of my favorite varmint cartridges. I've had three of them in Win. M-70 (Post '64 of course) and a custom build on a Miller single shot action. Two of the M-70's were delightfully accurate, even with the Winchester factory ammo of that era. The third one is the 1964 issue varmint model, still new/unfired, shown here. The .225 is a great choice for anyone looking for something different and interesting, and they are often offered for sale on websites. Finding ammo and cases can be a problem unless you know where to look.. View attachment 813419 View attachment 813420 View attachment 813421
I had one listed for a friend but he had a 2X price on it. It probably looked like yours 40 years ago. Neat round.
