Well I have a Model 11 Hog Hunter just laying around and i have decided to convert into a 6.5 CM since i have another sub MOA .308 rifle. Just put the call in today to Northland Shooters Supply for some of the goods. The build list will be as follows. Let me know what you guys think about this. This is my first re-barrel in a bolt action platform so if there is any advice and/or tips please let me know.

Model 11 SA
Criterion 28” Bull barrel in 6.5 CM
NSS Precision Ground Recoil Lug
NSS Savage Squared and Trued Barrel Nut
B&C Tactical Medalist Stock
EGW Rail
Vortex Viper PST 6-24 with Illuminated EBR-2C MRAD
Vortex Precision Match Rings
PTG Bolt Head
Also picked up a replacement spring from NSS for my factory accu-trigger that will bring the pull down to about 1.5lbs.


I have been doing some load research on what the CM generally likes and the one thing that I can’t seem to find anywhere is Federal 210M primers. Anyone know where I can get my hands on some of these? If I can’t get these then what would be the next best alternative?
