Years ago, I bought a pre accu-triger Savage VBSS in 22-250. I made several trips with it out to South Dakota to shoot prairie dogs. But it's sat in my safe for the last 8-10 years not being used.
I'm tempted to sell it and by a 308 hunting rifle which I'd probably use more (but don't need either), but I still have 600 rounds of reloaded ammo for it.
So I'm debating my options,
1. sell the rifle and try sell the reloaded ammo saying it should taken apart and used for components only (liability here). Buy new 308
2. burn through the ammo, sell the rifle and empty brass, buy new 308.
3. Same as #2 except have the rifle rebarreled with a lighter 308 hunting barrel, buy a new stock and use the fancy stock on my other savage in 223.
As mentioned in #3 I have another savage of the same era chambered in 223 that I could use the stock on and use for shooting prairie dogs in the future if I so desired. Also have a Copley ARs too.
by selling the 22-250 I'd reduce the number calibers I have to keep ammo for, I already have other 308 rifles.
