Afrost27 Report post Posted March 16, 2016 So I have a long action in the safe that I need to rebarrel. I was thinking a 260 , 6.5x47 or even a 204 lol. What are some of your thoughts. Doesn't have to be one of these calibers. I have a 7mm, 25-06, 300wm so I wanted some thing else no 308/223 I have ARs for those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Something in 6.5. I love my 6.5 x 284 Norma, but there's a ton of great options. Creedmore, Swede, Grendel, on and on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Just a word of caution on the .204 - my buddy built one from a savage .243 and it has been impossible to find an internal box magazine for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Buck Report post Posted March 17, 2016 I had a 260 Rem built in 2014 on a 700 short action and it is a great rifle. If I had a long action I would consider a larger case 6.5 to take advantage of the potential of the long action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
