[QUOTE="Yeager, post: 1663044, member: 78870"] 6.5 cm is a great cartridge, but may be a bit over-kill for woodchucks or p-dogs. Might consider a 224AI, 22-250AI, or even my favorite today 6cm. Reasonably heavy 26" threaded barrel with a twist rate suitable for todays high BC bullets. Know this, your choice of optics could cost as much as the rifle and you will need to choose between MOA or Mil-dot reticles for your long range shooting. May need a 10 to 20 MOA rail to help out your scope. Want to add fun, get a suitable sound suppressor. As my gunsmith often says, oh shucks, I need to work up a new rifle. Good luck and make it fun.
