I've never owned a Shilen either. Based upon input from Dennisinaz I just purchased a Shilen 6mm 1:8 for a 6x47L project (6.5x47L necked down to 6mm).
Sure hope it works. Going to use a Defiance Rebel action, have not decided on a trigger yet. Probably going to use a McMillian stock.
Still thinking about glass also.
Wish me luck.
James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
