Sakohunter264, I'd love to hear about your 6.5, what it likes etc. I have it's brother...just starting the wring out phase with it.....
Not Sakohunter, but ne'er-the-less.......
Being the rifle looney that I am, I'm always on the lookout for something I can't live without. I may not know that I can't live without it till I spy it.
Found this one a while back. It had been previously enjoyed in a conscientious manner. The previous owner was nice enough to glass bed the action, free float the barrel, install a Sako extractor in the bolt and do a trigger job.
Remington 673 Guide Gun, 350 Rem. Mag
Never did wring out this rifle, but I did load a couple different load densities. The 58.2 gr. load is what Sierra publishes as their "hunting load" for the 350 Rem Mag. As to recoil, it has a pop, but it was nothing like an unbraked 300 RUM or a 458 Lott.
Here are the second and third groups fired through the rifle after I got it "on paper".
As do many, it followed someone else home a while back.
JAPPFT,
GWB
