So I was given a ruger m77 hawkeye mk2 by my father when I was around 8, since then I have killed probably close to 20 whitetail with it. I absolutly adore the rifle but the best it will shoot is 2" at 100. Which is fine for in ga because I dont take shots over 50 typically but id love to take...

I much prefer a SA but im not totally against going LA.

I dont know very much about the bighorn actions, any advantages over the grb from gunwerks?

I was considering going long action just for that reason, do you see much of a down range performance change between the standard and improved? I've decided im going to go 6.5x55 the question is now do I go standard or improved

No I absolutly don't need it here for the southeast. Its more for when I take trips every year out west to hunt

Im very intrested in the 6.5 swed AI dies would be the only thing in question

Budget is around 2500-3000 pre optic. I only hand load and id prefer a SA but im not against a LA. I live the creed I have now but I really just want something that is an absolute tack driver and fun to shoot. Would be used on anything and everything within reason and range. I've got a pile of...

First and foremost is accuracy, recoil is a non issue, ive got a 338LM i use for elk. More so just something that is what I've always called a critter getter

I already have some brass from when I had a milsurp rifle in 6.5x55. Ive got several of 6.5 rifles so im good on powder and bullets. As for action I haven't decided yet, I have a 700LA in 3006 that is sorta laying around not doing a whole lot so I considered rebarreling it, but I was mostly...

All these options are great, I forgot to list the 260 AI. I already have a 338 for anything larger like elk or moose so im more so focusing on deer sized game. Really considering a 6.5x55 qnd the 260 AI. I already have stuff to load 6.5x55 so components wouldnt be an issue.

Looking at building my first custom gun, rifle will be used for primarily deer here in the south but I will take it out west for antelope/mule deer. I really love the 260 rem cartridge so I'd like to stay in the 6.5 family but having a difficult time decideding which one. My current list: 1...
