[QUOTE="rickiesrevenge, post: 1258152, member: 90095"] I built a rifle similar to what you are talking about. I chose the 6.5x284. If I had it to do over I'd do a 6.5x47L. It would be easier to find a good load, still has great brass, and it'll do quite well in the short barrel. I'd pick a 6.5 over a 6mm for killing stuff. As much as I love the dasher I wouldn't build one hoping that it would work 100% as a repeater. The rifle I built came in right at 6# with the light scope I put on it. It wasn't any fun to shoot! Kicked like a mule. Which is another reason I'd go for the smaller 6.5 Aaron [/QUOTE]
