[QUOTE="midnightmalloy, post: 442087, member: 25605"] ok here is why i like the 6.5's for this build: bullet selection. I dont want to shoot any heavier than 140gr and not much lighter than 100gr. so lets say for light practice/ varmints 95gr vmax, medium game 120gr amax or nos bt, even elk or black bear under 300yds you can use 130gr berger or nosler accubond and even the 140gr berber hunting vld. 6mm highest normal bullet is 105 and in a 7mm lowest normal is 120 so thats why im kinda settled on the 6.5. I like the 6.5x47 lapua and the 6.5 creedmoor. I handload so i dont care about loaded ammo. 260 rem is good and so is the ackley but you loose case capacity when seating the longer bullets to mag length unlike the two previously mentioned 6.5's. my dad is set in his ways on a bolt gun and it has to be left handed. thats why im pretty set on just rebarreling my LH tikka 595 to 6.5 creedmoor or the 6.5x47 lapua. it already has a leupold 4.5-14x40 LR varmint reticle scope and is light weight. I will probably get the work done at benchmark barrels and if he would like a break i can get them to do that after my dad shoots it. so about $550 out of pocket and the gun is done. [/QUOTE]
