[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2170359, member: 10755"] I am familiar with the Titan 6, good rifle system with interchangeable barrels and bolt head sizes. I have a 25-06 that is exceptional on hogs, but may not extend your range beyond 600 or so yards. Any of your 6.5’s listed, except the Creedless, will shoot flatter than your 308. I am a fan of the 6.5 cal, if going this way, my own have 8” twists, except my factory Win Model 70 that has a 9” twist. Even if you go 7mm, a 8” twist is the go. A mag length of 3.46” puts it longer than some standard length actions and could even accomodate a belted mag cartridge. So your choices are still up to you, I had a 6.5x55 Swede for many years and it was superbly accurate, it had the 7.25” twist, 4 groove Carl Gustav barrel. I still think the 6.5x47 fits the bill, but you may want more oomph behind your bullet. I like 140gr class pills or 123gr in my 6.5x47. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
