Jeez, mine is almost the same as yours. My 6AI was built 25ish years ago, and was also a short action 700 26" Shilen (I think 12T). Shot a bunch of stuff with it 55, 70 BT's, and finally settled on the 87 Horn. BTHP, and 87 V-Max (IMO one of the best intermediate range vmnt. bullets ever). A buddies kid killed a doe antelope at 400+ yds. several yrs. ago after a nice crawling stalk, and fell in love with the gun. It was originally going to be a 6-284, and then at the last minute changed to 6AI from Bob Jourdan's article on 6AI in Precision Shooting many years ago now. Gun sits mostly in the safe now as I don't like fireforming brass as much as in yrs. past, but it was a great killer in it's day.
Had a 6-24 Burris Ballistic Mil-Dot years ago and killed my 1st long-range coyote with it somewhat beyond 400. Now it wears a 4-12X Burris Mini Ballistic Plex. What optic did you put on yours sir?
