[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 34030, member: 376"] Scott, Jim's done most of the work on my 6.5-08. Trust me, I've sent waaayy too many $$$ over the hill his direction [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] At any rate, the concern isn't the box magazine or feed rails/ramp, it's the distance btwn the receiver bridges. For the game I play, I have to be able to shoot 5, reload, shoot 5 more, in 60-70 seconds, so I have to use stripper clips as most options for detachable magazines for bolt guns are extremely spendy and/or suck. As such, even w/ the rear bridge clip-slotted, and a little divot taken out of the front bridge for the bullet tip, I could *maybe* get away w/ 2.775", but 2.750" is a safer bet. Gun still shoots plenty accurate like that. For longer range where I am single loading, I seat to the lands. As far as target use, why limit yourself to 600m? Rattlesnake (Tri-Cities) has F-class along w/ the Palma shooters (if I'm not mistaken) out to 1000yds. I've been meaning to get down there one of these days when they have the 300-600-800-900-1000yd shoots (for those of us w/ shaky zero's for longer range due to not getting to shoot that distance very often) Monte [/QUOTE]
