[QUOTE="woodcr24, post: 1154084, member: 84411"] I had actually toyed with the idea of buying a Noreen BN36, which is essentially a long-action AR10/AK hybrid, in .270 Win and having it re-barelled to 6.5x55. Despite all of the interest in 6.5-CM, the Swede in modern loads is still superior, and I can find the ammo at all of the places that I shop (which is certainly not the case for any other cartridge firing a 6.5mm projectile; in fact, I see more .264 Win Mag on the shelves than I do any other 6.5mm cartridge except Swede). By the time that the difference in the price of ammo is factored in, it's almost worth ditching the .260 and doing the Noreen barrel swap. I'd probably break even before the barrel was shot out. To put it in perspective, about a month ago I was shopping at the Cabela's in Hamburg. They had two boxes of .260, which I purchased. Last weekend, there wasn't even a space for it on their shelves. Discontinued. [/QUOTE]
