So I purchased a manners prs1t yesterday in sage flats and it came with a brand new m24 6.5 1:8 twist 5r benchmark and have no idea what to do with it. Primarily I’d like to sell or trade it (Canada) for a 22 or 6mm barrel but if that doesn’t happen what caliber should I go with. Current line up

- 20 tac
- 223 rem
- 6creed
- 25 creed
- 260 rem
- 300 Norma.

I don’t really need another 6.5 unless it was a magnum but only have shot actions to run it on which limits me again. The trade for the 22 would be for a 22 creed or more likely a 22 gt, and the 6 would be for the bra
 
That thought did cross my mind but very pricy to run a Sherman up here due to import fees. Having to import the brass, import the reamer.

I’ve Always wanted a 270. Wsm or 270 ss to run the 170’s in, the 6.5 ss would be fun. I’d love to shoot the 156’s but I don’t know if it will still feed from a short action with the longer bullet
