6mm, 6.5mm's

[35whelen]

i didn't get my 03 actions built. I found a nice pro hunter on consignment and ordered 6mm-06 and 25-06 barrels from MGM.

People that own 6mm/260 Remington just go hunt and kill stuff. The Creedmore group has to stop at Cabelas and buy the latest Kuiu or sitka camo before they can go hunt.

That's funny right there!

I just finished a 6.5-06 on an 03-A3 Action with a Wisner two-position shroud safety & #1 contour tube twisted 1-in-9”. Haven’t had a chance to wring it out.

If I were you I’d consider a 6mm-06 & either a 25-06 or 6.5-06 because they’re so close. I’d go 6 & 6.5 personally. 6mm w/ a super fast twist could be brilliant w/ both 90 gr ETips & heavy for caliber high-BC Target bullets for varmints & deer sized game. The 6.5 is one I’d confidently use on game as large as moose personally. A 127 LRX & 139 Scenar would do it all!

Good luck!

Eric I've been patiently waiting to see pictures of that 6.5-06 that you built on that fabulous 03-A3 action that I practically gave to you! Okay maybe not so patiently, but you get the point. You are killing me here over in Montana!
