[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1814548, member: 42308"] A 26” barrel works very nicely on a 6.5/06. That 8 twist barrel will be sufficient for any of the 140g to 147g bullets out there. I haven’t tried the 156 berger in any of mine yet, however others report that it is fine with an 8 twist. There is a bit of a bump in performance going to an ackley chamber. Regardless of whatever you decide to do it will be a great hunting rifle for you. All but one of my 6.5/06 rifles have been built on Winchester model 70 actions for Hunting. Pacific tool and Gauge makes bottom metal that utilizes a detachable box magazine that uses AICS magazines I’ve used on the last two rifles I’ve had built. I believe that they make bottom metal suitable for the Mauser actions as well. Great choice [/QUOTE]
