I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Tikka or Savage all day long. Both will shoot lights out, question is what bullet do you want to shoot and choose the right twist. I recently bought a Tikka T3 Varmint in 22-250, love the rig!

seems like the rem 700 I was leaning towards is not my best option. I think I will check out tikka or sako...according to pigman all a person needs is a savage, a luepold and hornady ammo

Sako if you shoot factory ammo. 1:8 twist Tikka if you handload.
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

This is the same pre order that I used for a LH Tikka 22-250 in 1-8 twist. Decent price with some extras included. As stated it should really shoot 60-75 grain rounds very well. We will see

Some of my best rifles are remingtons. If you haven't looked at them I would also add weatherby vanguard to your list, I have been pleased with them in the past.

Any of them will probably do a fine job for you. Get what you like.

From among these choices (none of which would be my first choice), I'd buy a Sako if the intent was to leave it alone. If I was going to do custom work, I'd buy a Remington.

Tikka and SAKO use the same barrel out of the same factory....off the same machinery ...been there and seen it in person.
Whittakers has been putting together a group buy on Tikka 3x 22-250 8 twists, call Darrik and see if you can get into that deal IMO would the very best thing to do. Haven't heard that he's closed the sign up list & might want a deposit, but has also offered a short term layaway payout in the past on other same kinda group buy deals. FWIW Whittakers has become who I check 1st when looking for something because of the unbeatable personal service from the Owner himself.
