    A longer barrel

    I have a model 700 rem, 7mm. I bought this gun in New Mexico 6 years ago. The Barrel was cut to 19" long, The stock was beat up bad. I got the rifle worth the money.

    Scopes to use at Night

    260 AI ?

    Would A 260AI be worth the time ? I understand the reason for the AI on a -06 case but what about the .308 type case do you gain much? Iam looking to change the barrel on my 600 rem, the 6.5-284 probably would not fit? I shoot the 6.5x55 and -06 love them.
