    Short barrel - light 6.5 hunting rifle

    Hondo, 2700 is not a bad place to be, factory ammo/18"....that will do plenty work. WB300, taken notice, any thoughts on the bolt handle attachment? Accuracy? GG - Any speed info in that shorty? Thanks all.

    Hunting & Fishing 6 vs 6.5 for whitetail?

    3500 fps? :D A former 6BR, using 105 Amax at 2850 mv dumped one at 400 LRF, struggled to get 20 yds....... That said, I am a 6.5 fan, do love 6's, but.........

    Short barrel - light 6.5 hunting rifle

    Good stuff gang, that Swede above is interesting, had a few '96 sporterized, long ago, and a 700 Classic, and a K1A Ruger........oh, the pre-64 style SS FWT, all sold to fund other projects... The one '96 was chopped to 21" and made a handy carbine, though the barrel was more like a 3 or so...

    Short barrel - light 6.5 hunting rifle

    Good luck on your build, is it a heavy for a can?

    Short barrel - light 6.5 hunting rifle

    Nice rifle and buck, congrats. Any members using light bolt-action carbines? I know most guys here are running heavy contours. Bob S had a 17" 47 IIRC with a # 3.

    Short barrel - light 6.5 hunting rifle

    Curious who hunts with a 16-20" sporter for a woods rifle? Finn Aaggard wrote a piece on a ULA 7BR in 1992. It had a 16 11/16 bbl weighed 4lb 14 oz - bbl contour sporter mag at .660. Looks like a nice blueprint for a handy woods carbine. Not a "Fly-weight" fan but it seems a 17-19" in a #2...

    7mm-08 vs 6.5mm for hunting

    I have run many 7/08, 260, Swede, Creed, and 47 Lapua. Curious what the opinions are on the 7 vs a non-belted short 6.5 for hunting given the latest bullets and powders. Consider a barrel 23" max. Anyone prefer the 7mm? Hunters, I'd like to hear about your set up, rifle specs/glass, and...

    Lightweight Hunting Build- Deer-Yotes 0-800yds? .243 Tikka + Bushnell LRS G2

    BTW, I have that very rifle in SS, great choice ;) FWIW, I have used many 6mm bullets from 70-105 on deer/hogs in BR and 243. The 95 NBT is my fave all around. Others will do well, and shot placement is key, in any round, as you know. Having shot 1/2" 200 yd groups with that bullet in a...

    Whats the deal with the Tikka T3 in .260 Rem ?

    Anyone seen any Stainless 260 - in the USA? Wondered if they were being imported......or is Beretta STILL Confused?

    Shorty 22-250, 243, or 6x47??

    Will look fwd to your results. I prefer a 19-22" - 20-21 is ideal to my liking - had a few 243s in 20 and one in a Mohawk 18.5 - all deadly in the field for whatever used on.

    Lightweight Hunting Build- Deer-Yotes 0-800yds? .243 Tikka + Bushnell LRS G2

    I'd prefer a 6.5 or 7mm to 800 yds, that said - I am all about good bullets/placement thru vitals. Farthest deer kill = 6BR/105Amax/2850 mv ~ 400 yds, double lunged. I'd run a 243 to 500 yds, perhaps a tad more with ideal conditions, meaning known range/wind and many rounds under my belt at...

    Remington 700 pistol

    Last I knew, the XP100 was made a pistol first, later into the 600 for rifles. A pistol action upon originated design can be made into a rifle. NOT the reverse last I recall the BATF - Call to avoid the potential for any problems, which can be extensive. I do recall a few Sako PPC pistols...

    Shorty 22-250, 243, or 6x47??

    90s in 22 cal x 47.....how long a tube? Seems 6 bore speeds in 24"...wonder what pressure.

    Shorty 22-250, 243, or 6x47??

    Watcha hunting? Wabbits? T-Rex? Talked to a fella long ago, dumped all his deer w/a 6mm R600, 85 BTHP, up to 400 yds. I'd buy a Ruger AR in 243, 19-20", plenty handy, though I know a local former LEO/trainer who used a 17" chopped 243 R700 BDL for a handy stand rifle. Blast goes up...
