At least it's the 308 necked in the right direction. Scenar's make it viable,but the .243" 105A-Max rates building a rifle around and is cheaper to boot............ Agreed, but you could also buy an "off the shelf", fast twisted, to get the same results. This would probably save enough for decent glass, over a "roll your own". Paul.

Cheers, what's it twisted at ?
My wife's got a Savage with 1:9.25".
Shoots 85 TSX, 95 Fusions & 100 grain Partitions really well, under a minute for me & "minute of deer" for her. Have not tried to 105's.

I've not had the 1/10 on my 6/06 take any liking at all with the 105-107's or any of the heavier Burgers. It's flirted with liking the 105 AM but when it comes down to it it just won't fly in it.

Dober, is it because of the extra length of the Bergers ?

9" is where it's at and I'd never build a 6mm that wasn't...irregardless of it's capacity.
The 10" Shilen was a used score I couldn't pass,due to pricing..........

Length determines minimum twist rate...not weight.............

Roger that, but the Bergers are longer, right ?
I've no experience with them.

The 105's terminal affects,slams the door on them.............

When I do a retube on it it'll be 9 as well. Any chance you've tried the 90 Scenars?

If I could find a good bolt gun for it, the 6.8mm SPC would seem to fit your bill. Very mild recoil and 200yrds is about it limit for deer hunting.
The sad point is that I only see it on the AR type rifle and now Ruger is making their ranch rifle in it also. But I would want a bolt gun. But if you are happy with a semi auto the 6.8 SPC seems like just the ticket. Ruger Model 77. "Compact" iteration. http://www.ruger.com/products/m77HawkeyeCompact/models.html

Ruger loses alotta races,by having the heavy action,heavy rings and marrying same to a heavy stock.

My .243 & 7-08 seems to kill fine. So, my vote goes to either one.
