[QUOTE="KPK, post: 1125893, member: 27383"] I'm struggling on the direction of a new all around rig. Originally I wanted a 20" 6.5x47 for a truck/farm gun. I get to over thinking and always go back to something more. 6.5 saum or similar. The fact is I feel like 800yds with the 6.5x47 should be somewhat easy to accomplish and if I think I'm gonna need longer I can grab the 26" 300 win mag with 230g bullets. So......ease my mind with the 6.5x47. I know it will work great for a short suppressed hunting rig. Currently have a Manners EH5A, Rem 700 action, and PTG bolt with small firing pin on the way. I know it's not a big time thumper like most of you guys run, but a 140 even at 2700 will hit pretty hard. Do it or go bigger? Going to do a match gun in 6.5x47 too. Have a 6x47 and love the case. Ease of loading, recoil, etc. [/QUOTE]
