[QUOTE="lovdasnow, post: 334589, member: 5082"] 4bycamper and mikecr, both of those last post were great. thanks mike you are right about the 308, but then the bug to have something a little different comes into play. i will be taking apart a 308 rifle to build this one on. i think that the 6.5 will give me less recoil than the 308 shooting 168's, so i can spot my hits easier. also i think the 6.5 will buck the wind better then the 308. the 6.5 does give up some barrel life to the 308, but still does a LOT better job then my RUM. And you're right GAP does a great job on those 308's! i'm narrowed it down to the 6.5x47 or the 260rem. when i start ordering parts, i will just pick one, and from what i've found, i should be happy with either one. i've got a few pro's and con's to each caliber, but they are the closest i've seen to what i'm looking for. i really appreciate your guys input on this. believe it or not, it did help me organize my ideas. thanks again, jon [/QUOTE]
