[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 723168, member: 1133"] If that is the SS 516 factory WSM, i'd be real careful shooting a rifle scope on that one. The WSM's have a lot of recoil for a lightweight specialty pistol, and it'll come back some. Had a rancher friend of mine that had one in 7 WSM that wouldn't shoot, I had a 270 WSM barrel laying around and we tried everything to get that rig to shoot with both barrels. Finally he traded me the rig for another SS and i had a McGowen-barrelled 260 Rem. chambered up in it and he has been killing everything with it including long-range prairie dogs using a 2-7x Burris. That is now the rancher's favorite gun. We shelled 2 Burris's on the WSM, the recoil was so bad. If it doesn't work for you i'd consider rebarrelling to a WSSM. If you're into reloading the 6.5 WSSM "wildcat" will deliver a bit more than a 260 Rem. and you shouldn't have to change the bolt head. [/QUOTE]
