Mackay - did you call those dogs, or are they targets of opportunity? Either way, great job, and some nice rifles sitting there....

Few care for the 6mm Remington anymore. I think it is a great cartridge.




Oh, I likes that rifle. How much does it weigh?


I have never weighed the thing.

I would guess around 7 pounds with scope and sling.



7lbs. That makes me like it even more. grin

Personally I think the 6mm Rem is a very underrated round and a bigger step up in performance from the .243 than most people think. Not that the .243 is lacking in any way. Somewhere in the velocity gap between the 2 rounds there is a threshold that is crossed. (Maybe its just me thinking too much)

This 6mm has been whacking antelope for me since high school. It's performance has been incredible.

Why a .22-204? Why not just buy a .222 Remington or .222 Remington magnum?

Called them all.

Of course most of the time I waste a lot of fuel between sets. But when they come in, that is when it is all worth it.

The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world.

Mackay,
Thanks for the info. I would think using an '06 donor would be the way to fly if you wanted to shoot the heavies. Throat to where you can seat them way out and maximize case capacity. I suspect that would be a real sleeper. Enjoy your rifle.

I can't pick just one.

17 Remingtons are nice for fur.

[Linked Image]

A little Sako A1 in 223 is fun.

[Linked Image]

Don't want to leave out a 204 Ruger

[Linked Image]


or another 17 Rem

I don't have pics of the 6XC or the 22-250AI right now.

So, I ended up picking up a new 223. Gonna do a new thread about it. Should be a neat little rifle once all is said and done.

I was giving this some serious thought this year on the deer stand. I need to get back to varmint hunting/calling with an eye towards being serious about it.

Upper midwest - most likely going to be hunting cedar swamps, field edges, farms etc so 250 yards MAX and I'd like to be as fur friendly as possible.

Fox/Yotes

Kinda was thinking Ruger in 22 Hornet punched to K Hornet? Tho I admit I know very little about this cartridge. If it's a 250 yard coyote cartridge.

Dog Hunter sorry about the Quote goof on this. Not sure what happened.

You can probably tell by my handle that the 6mm Remington is one of my favorites as well! I've taken lots of deer, antelope, and one spike bull with my 6mm over the years. Now my son has started with it as well. He got his first elk last year with his 6mm Remington and a 90 gr. Nosler E-tip at 350 yards. ONE SHOT and she went about 20 yards and dropped. The bullet exited her off-side shoulder! Those E-tips and Partitions make the 6mm perform bigger than it is.

That is one sweet looking Tika you have there in 6mm Remington!

How about a Remington Model 600 Centennial made in 1964 celebrating the 100th year of Montana Territorial Centennial and 75th Year of Statehood? Oh it's also chambered in that FABULOUS 6mm Remington!!

This rifle is now my son Jeff's and besides an walking varmint rifle, it's also a sitting and eating rifle. Works pretty darn well on antelope and deer also.

3 years ago and Jeff's first Antelope.

I've got a Remington 600 in a .222 and I consider it to be a real fine rifle.

My Dad shot a pile of fox with it.

I think it's near impossible to beat a lightweight AR with a 2-7X or 3-9X.

Hmmm ... chasing brass, and possibly losing it ... offends the precision reloader in me. Other than that, you might be right. smile

I always liked them, but then again, my first centerfire rifle was a 1917 Enfield. I have a Remington 660 that I had a lightweight Rem 700 22-inch barrel in .243 put on for my son...but he really dislikes the dog leg bolt handle, so he prefers my Tikka T-3 in .243. Go figure. I even bought a Mohawk stock that I cut down for him, so I could keep the factory original stock in pristine shape.
