    Some questions on a 6.5 CM custom build

    Smooth, sounds like you have got it figured out. Excellent choice on all the components. I would stick with the 26" barrel, like I said before I like the velocity gain from the longer barrel. I don't notice any difference between a 24 vs 26 handling wise, you would have to go down to the 20"...

    Some questions on a 6.5 CM custom build

    I bought mine as complete rifles, model 10 FCP's. You may be able to find just the action however, Jim at Northland Shooting Supply had some in the past. When you call him for the barrel ask him, he may have them back in stock or give you a lead on where to find one.

    A long action Rem 700. What Caliber?

    If I had a long action to build I would go 284 Winchester. I have seen a few matches that don't allow magnum calibers. From the ones I've seen the 284 doesn't give up much to the 7 short mags that dominate a lot of matches. Steve B.

    savage model 10 fcp opinions

    To convert a 10FCP 308 into a 223 you will need to change the barrel, the bolt head, and get the correct magazine. It is a very easy conversion. I have two 10FCP H-S Precision rifles, one I rebarreled with a 260 Remington Shilen barrel, the other is waiting for a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel to arrive...

    Mason Dixon Sniper Series Match #6 Registration

    Josh is correct, it was a B34 at 300 yards. I think everyone liked it based on the sizes of the smiles they had when they got up off the line.
