    Low cost 6.5mm Bullet to use for fireforming.

    I recommend you use the COW method. It is the most economical, and with which you do not lower the barrel life. The most important thing about fireforming, in any case, is starting from cases with zero head space. You achieve this with the false shoulder, which from my humble point of view...

    Scope for light weight rifle

    A good option is a Zeiss HT 2.5-10x50 with ASV+ turrets. Best glass (Schott), light, compact, illuminated reticle, reliable, with around 19.3 ounces.

    Which caliber for Remington 700 long action (3006 bolt face) rebarrel?

    The answer to your dilema is 30 gibbs. Nearly 10% extra powder over the parent case (30-06), and 300win perfomance, plus head space on the shoulder, cheap brass, etc. 24" 1:10 CF barrel, CF Ag stock and you get a great hunting tool. Good luck with your project!!!! Regards V
