I have built a 6mmBR on Rem700 short action and a sav99.

I operated both as single shot.
Both were crazy accurate.
I shot a couple antelope with the Rem700.

I built my 6BR on a Remington XR100 action, it turned out very nice and shoots awesome but after truing the action and having to get the bolt bushed if I had to do it over I would get a custom action and save the headache

I have had 6mmBR's on 700s in the past but the one I just finished up was built on a Tikka.
Custom action would be nice but I had the action laying here so why not?


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I myself have been thinking about building a 6br mainly because I came across 600 pieces of brand new Lapua brass. that I have no other use for so let's build it. unless I convert it to 7 br brass which I currently have.. I just like to find the factory Savage in stock that I can get my hands on...

Easier to bump 1/2 mm than 1mm wink

Pete, I had a #1, Pac-Nor 1V contour, carried to 26", Kepplinger trigger, their gunsmith had built one that Chris told me shot about 1" groups, IIRC, at 500. That might be off.......or not.....but they had glass bedded the forearm........NOT your customary route.....but I told them to do mine that way. Long story, I shot 3 into < .5" at 330 yds with 105 amax........who says #1's can't shoot?!? smile

I had many built, most on 700s, and one on a Stiller, that last was 24" 700V taper, 8 twist, and shot 1/4" at 200 yds time and again. Bartlein and Jewel btw. Hands down my fave round for all out accuracy.

That said, as stick said - Factory rifles.........and yes ammo, make a 6CM very intriguing........it feeds w/o any mods, and has a bit more speed, though likely 1/2 the bore life.

All that said, I have NEVER owned any 6mm that failed to shoot well under moa. 243s, 6 Rem, BRs...

As to killing, dumped my farthest deer kill, lasered right at 400. Killed several with it with 105 amax and even the 95 BT in a Nesika Bay Predator that had a 10T....that was a sweet SS bolt rig with great walnut. Shot 1/2" at 200 with those 95s btw.....so many choices.

Enjoy KY221.

Can you post a link to the magazine/follower mod ? I cant find it on the site.
Thanks
