[QUOTE="joejo, post: 449997, member: 26396"] so i plan on starting a new build this winter and i am having issues on caliber choice. i would like to use a short action rem or rem based action (ie stiller). my problem is this though, i really want to do a 6.5x55 because i have a rem classic chambered in this, and i think i could easily do 1000 yards with it in a properly built gun. does anyone know of any custom action that i can use that will feed the 6.5x55 in a short based action? other calibers i thought of were the 260 rem and the 6.5x47 and even the 6mmbr. all of these though just don't appeal as much to me. i know if i just go single shot the 6.5x55 will be fine for me in a short action, but i may hunt a bit with the gun so a repeater is my first choice. i looked at the hansen actions but i just don't like the saftey design, it's the looks that bother me. what should i do? the optics i will be using will be the nxs 8-32. as for a stock, i am still undecided, thumbhole laminate or mcmillan? barrel will most likely be a kreiger.
