One that I recommend looking into also is a Browning. I have the A-Bolt and love it. It has the BOSS which I don't recommend because it ROCKS anyone beside you! It isn't for sale but another to consider when out looking. I will also keep my eyes open...
I have a Rem 700 Heavy barrel Varmiter in 22-250AI (Ackley Improved) I would concider selling. The Ackley Improved is just a improved blownout 22-250 case. You can shoot regular 22-250 ammo and it will form the case for you.
It would be a reload situtation after that and I will throw in a set of 22-250AI dies.
With the 22-250AI case you will have 22 Swift speed.

The improved has deeper shoulders than the standard 22-250. it allows for increased pressures/velocity loads...this guns a screamer on the 700 platform. once you fire the standard 22-250 load in this chamber it will"fire form" to fit that gun. We have one...its wicked on anything it touches...it will add anywhere around 200 FPS to 22-250 hot loads. it is a reload only bullet though as it should be..
I have a Remington 700 in the Mossy Oak Brush that is a shooting sum beech. Good luck finding ammo though! I think you would be really happy with the Remington, but that's the only one I have experience with. Last weekend in a 20 mph crosswind, I shot a 3" group of 3 at 200 yards just laying on a round bale. And once you see it shoot something like a watermelon at that distance, you'll know it'll DESTROY a yote or anything else!
So can u only shoot reloads in this gun? Or can u shoot standard 22-250 shells? Man am I confused.
I found a remington 700 with a bull barrel for 525 brand new. Is that a good deal?

you can shoot regular 22-250 in it you just cant reload it back into the old 22-250...if you going to pitch them them dont worry about it.
It's a Remington 700 ADL which was made for the box stores. No fancy trigger, shorter barrel by 2" can the comparable SPS Long Range, but the same overall quality you expect from a Remington rifle. It may not be the high end 700, but she shoots like a dream. IMO, this looks more like the SPS Varmint or LR than it does the pics of the ADLs you see...

My opinion is it is OK given the current market. I paid $450 for mine in February of last year from Dicks and it is obviously camo, which should cost more coin. Ammo is a mother to find right now, so when you find some, stock up!
Jesse is right on the ammo. Pickin's have been slim, but I have found a few scattered boxes lately.
