[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 210172, member: 7999"] Helo everyone, I have a son that will be hunting his 1st season this fall. I have a deal with him that I will match his funds for a new hunting rifle. Then I got to thinking that I could have my old model 70 Win re-barreled in 6.5-06 for him. This gun has never shot better than an inch @ 100yrds, so it has been sitting in the case for years. My questions: Is this a good caliber for a young hunter? How long a barrel? What twist for 100grn to 130grn bullets. I think this would get him something better than a rifle off the rack, and possibly cost less. Any info and ideas would be great. Thanks, Steve [/QUOTE]
