Poor mans 6.5 creedmoor....idea ...chime in - 05/05/11
Been thinking about taking a Marlin XS7 in 7mm-o8 and doing a switching out the factory barrel for a 6.5 creedmoor. Say Pac Nor or something similar. I purchased a XS7 in 7mm-08 for my son and while they are not as well made as some, they function well, and they shoot.I put his in a Boyds stock and glass bedded it and it is a really nice looking / shooting gun.Pac Nor could match the factory contour and I would do a 1-8 about 25" long to get the most out of the creedmoor. Any thoughts?????
