[QUOTE="jb1000br, post: 147308, member: 1459"] Dave - I like the 6.5x47 over the 260 due to component logistics...KISS...no one necking things every which way and having problems etc. You buy lapua cases, and load them. Period. Also, the 6.5x47 is the clear winner IMO for magfeeding...if you set the throat to just allow a 142 to fit totally in the neck, you can seat every other normal (123gn+) 6.5 bullet in the neck also (except the norma 130) that I have tested. You can't do this with a 260... even a 123scenar at the base of the neck won't feed in a SA rem mag... As far as your mag setup, I'd go AICS over the 788 mags in a heartbeat... AFA ammo costs, who will be buying a 3K$ ultralight take-down and worry about a couple bucks on ammo? AFA Recontouring a buttoned tube...always makes me nervous...why not call Tim and ask him?
