    I had <span style="text-decoration: line-through">five </span> (now four) 308 rifles, a 6.5-284Win and a 6.5x55 but still yearned for a 260 Rem. Recently was able to score a new AAC 260 M700 barrel in the classifieds here. I wound up using a 6 yr old Rem 700SPS Varmint in 308 Win as a donor...

    Re: Post your SMK kills Took this 170lb boar before daylight Monday morning. 6.5x55 142gr SMK @ 100yds through both front shoulders, bullet found under the hide on the offside. Bullet weighed 77grs so it retained 50% of it's original weight with a fairly tough shot.

    Re: AAC 260 barrel remington 700 midway Good to hear that you had zero problems with the head spacing. I recently snagged a AAC 260 barrel myself to give it a whirl.

    Why is it?

    Re: Why is it? Jon, It's very simple what he did was illegal. Just like Veer said, you cannot buy "firearms" like that for the sole purpose of reselling them for profit without having an FFL. If he bought them, and trickled them out over time, he could have slipped through the cracks, but...

    Hell Yes - 6.5x55 birth - Range Pics in OP

    Re: Hell Yes - 6.5x55 birth Here is my 6.5x55, it's built on a M700 long action too but only has a 20" tube. About the only groups I shoot with it would be groups of hogs. I singled this one out last Monday morning at 366 yds with a well placed 140 Berger VLD behind some H4350.

    Re: 17 year olds budget build! Kody,it's nice to see this type of attitude with a youngster such as yourself. Certainly dont have a problem rewarding you. I know it's already been offered but I'll throw my name in the hat to do a bolt knob conversion.
