A really good friend of mine recently passed and I got his shooting stuff. He was pretty big into regional PRS shoots and was an equipment and methods perfectionist. Everything is top quality………
I have his Impact 6mm GT rifle (pretty heavy), extra barrels, scopes, bullets, brass, etc. I don’t really like this rifle (other than sentimental reasons) and I’m thinking it’s too target & steel specialized for me. I already have a real accurate 6.5x47 rifle for steel and whitetail. I’m thinking about rebarreling the 6mmGT to a 7mm something (WSM?) more suitable for mule deer and perhaps elk.
Looking for input on what hide members would do?
build another 6.5x47?
build a 7mm short action something?
what barrel would you use, Proof research?
sell the 6mmGT?
thank you for you input……
