[QUOTE="Hornyforracks, post: 1992879, member: 115611"] [B]Thanks for the great info[/B] dump, I really couldn't ask for more [I](other than a longer COAL factory mag of course . . but when aren't we left wanting one of those)[/I] Looks like you started with the same rifle I'm thinking of picking up, the Laminate Varmint isn't much of an upcharge over the base considering how much an aftermarket stock costs, plus it gets ride of that terrible little bolt handle and has just about the only barrel in the line up that isn't [I](in my opinion)[/I] too short for caliber. I was thinking of going straight to a smith to have the chamber recut to a 6.5 short mag, but some reading here has shown me a few people who claim Great velocities with RL26, so I might shoot it as a Creedmoor for a little while and test that velocity claim myself. I'm not super optimistic, but at least I'll know if the barrel has any accuracy potential before I spend cash on rechambering; if it won't group as a Creedmoor, might as well save for full barrel replacement.
