Need Advice - Which action to buy?

[rbeckwith]

Going to get started on a winter project and need some advice. Looking to do a switch barrel set up so I can shoot some club matches from 200-500 yards at both paper and reactive targets. Looking at either a BAT or Stolle action and thinking about 6BR or 30BR for score and then either a 6.5x47 or 6.5CM barrel for steel targets. Any thoughts?

I like the idea of a switch barrel but for those purposes why? A rifle chambered in either 6.5CM or 6.5x47 will do everything you want and then some.

Are you sure that those last two cartridges won't serve your BR desire too? I've heard some say the 6.5x47 is the most accurate caliber they've ever shot.

I agree that a 6.5x47 would do for everything that I want to use the rifle for...but when shooting short range BR for score I would think that a 30BR with it's 30 cal bullet would have an edge over a 6.5x47.
