[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 1342094, member: 23486"] A quick search will provide all the "Sherman" info you need. Rich is a super good dude as well. IMHO, sell both your on-hand rifles and buy/built what you're after. You've already defined your wants/needs, you know what you're after. As stated above, there's a chance you could end up with a factory rifle that you aren't 100% happy with... and this dilemma starts all over again. The 6.5 Creed is a great little cartridge. If you only intend to hunt bigger game (elk) on a rare occasion, roll with it. If you intend to make it a common affair, Mud may have a valid point. Step up a bit in bullet diameter. While I firmly believe that a 6.5 is more than adequate and that a well placed shot from a 6.5 is better than a poor shot from something with more horsepower; bullet diameter is most definitely your friend when it some to Elk. As far as Proof barrels go; if you want to drop $900 on a barrel that won't shoot any better than something 1/2 the cost, get'er done. I really, and I mean REALLY like the looks of a carbon wrapped barrel. But I ain't paying for that... lol As to you're other question, I don't see why they wouldn't more than stiff enough for your can. t [/QUOTE]
