[QUOTE="Mike027, post: 1319946, member: 5816"] Good afternoon, I am considering making a visit to the local gunsmith to discuss having him build me a 6.5 creedmoor off a Remington 700 BDL in 22-250 that I had picked up on my last trip out west. I have a couple of questions and I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. This rifle will be used primarily as a carry rifle for mule deer and antelope. There is also the possibility that I could use it on elk (within reasonable range). I also would use this rifle as my practice gun at the range so I decided on the 6.5CM because of its reported light recoil (I have never fired one). For barrel length I was thinking 24" or 25". Does that sound appropriate? I did some research on barrel twist and it looks like 1:8 should work. ???? Any guidance you can offer is most appreciated. Thanks. Mike [/QUOTE]
