Provenance: Robert Bryan Smith Pybus (1931-2012) was a UK gunsmith, benchrest shooter and accuracy fanatic. Pybus introduced the 22-250 to the UK and advised UK security forces on the potential of the calibre as a sniping round. A Rolls-Royce employee, Bryan custom built rifles in his spare time - upon retirement he became a full time RFD. Initial 22-250 rifles were built on converted BSA, Parker-Hale and Sako actions. The current rifle was converted from a 7x57 to a 22-250.
