[QUOTE="keclark, post: 3039399, member: 113974"] Hey all, I have a general idea of what I want for my next build, but I have a few questions and would appreciate some insight. I like to shoot, a lot, and my poor 6.5 prc is currently taking all of the abuse. So I want to build something with relatively low recoil, doesn’t burn a ton of powder, and gets good barrel life. 6.5 creed obviously checks those boxes, but I think I’ve got my heart set on something 6mm. 6 creed, 6 dasher, or somewhere in the middle like the 6 GT. Something on the heavier side is fine because I already have a couple lightweight pack rifles. Here’s what I’m thinking: Zermatt Origin (changeable bolt face and prefit options is main reason for this, also I’m lefty and my options are limited) Ag composites Alpine Hunter M5 DBM 22” #3b style contour in 6 GT Topped with a Zeiss V4 I have laying around Am I crazy to chamber that cartridge in that contour/length barrel? Should I step up to 6 creed and not worry about the supposed short barrel life? [/QUOTE]
