[QUOTE="Clark, post: 1159721, member: 6600"] You misspelled fluted, Creedmoor, and availability. You dissed Bart Bobbitt, my favorite gun poster since 1997 when he shot his 3.25" 20 shot group at 800 yards with his 308 and Krieger ran an ad in Accurate rifle, claiming he used one of their barrels. But I am going to try anyway. Of the things you speak I have a 260 reamer and a 6.5-06 reamer. Every year I build ~ 3 rifles, get to the hunting grounds a month early for long range target practice and handloading in the vehicle. The 260 has never made it to the top to be hunted. In the past years 7mmRemMag rifles qualified to always keep it into the kill zone to 500 yards, and 270s, 300Winmags, 257Roberts Ackley, 260rem, 338 Win mag, 30-06, 7.62x54R, 35 Whelen, 6mmBR, 243, 6mmRem, 8x57, 7x57, 308, etc only qualified to 400 yards. But in 2015 on a Dumoulin Mauser I built a 6.5-06 with Shilen Select Match ratchet rifling 8" twist #3 taper barrel, with 120 gr Nos Bal Tips [could not get 142 gr Nosler Accubond Long Range to work yet] with IMR-4166 [Like IMR-4895, but with a temperature stabilizing and Copper fouling reducing coatings]. It qualified out to 600 yards and killed a small kill zone whitetail doe at 629 yards. I have built rifles on Win pre 64 M70 actions, Mauser actions, Rem 700 actions, Sav 110 actions and a number of others. The Rem 700 and Sav 110 have poor extractors, but they are easy to build for precision. Of the things you ask, my guess is that your best chance will be with Rem 700 and 6.5-06. [/QUOTE]
