[QUOTE="lovdasnow, post: 287234, member: 5082"] hey guys i need your expertise on caliber choice. I've got a custom 300 RUM that I am having a blast with, but at the rate I'm shooting this thing I'll need a new barrel every other year(or sooner). it's too much fun. I have a rem 700(.308SA) that would like to be rebuilt. it will be for long range(1k yds)rocks, paper, varmints, etc I think I would like something in the 6mm range(lighter recoil, great bullet selection), and was leaning toward the 6x47 lapua. accuracy is #1, but right behind that is barrel life. i would like to get over/around 2k shots per barrel. I would also like it be able to get complete powder burn and good velocity with a 22-26" barrel because I will be using a suppressor as well, and would like to keep gun length reasonable. what would be a good length for the 6x47? so, do you guys have any recommendations for moderate to long barrel life, with great long range performance? like i said, leaning toward the 6x47 lapua, am i leaning the wrong way? thanks a lot [/QUOTE]
