Just For Fun Thread (Times are so serious) - Which Short Action Caliber Should I Build Next?

[Orezona]

I've got a Shilen 26 inch 8 twist in 6mmbr mounted to a Savage 12 action, and it's a real tac driver. But if you really want to have some fun, have it threaded and put a harrells tuner/brake on it and shoot 107SMK's over Varget. Components aren't too expensive and since your going to be loading somewhere around 30 grains, it's not going through a lot of hard to find powder. Accuracy is AMAZING and it's easy to tune, and the tuner will keep it tuned as temps change.

Keep in mind that around Black Friday X-Caliber usually puts their barrels on sale at 25% off. Last year i ordered a 24" SS bull in 6.5 CM. It was under $300 to my door. I've shot from 100 to 800 yds so far and it too is amazingly accurate and consistent with the 140 gr SMK and H4350.

One word of warning about the DBM. The 6mmBR does not feed reliably from a magazine. Rounds tends to be too nose heavy and it will jamb against the breech. If you're a skilled craftsman you can fabricate a ramp to aid feeding. Otherwise, plan to make it a single shot.

Thank you. The single shot is something I need to ponder.

You can make your magazine fed Savage action into a single shot with a SSS single shot feed ramp. Easy to install and easy to remove if you ever want to do something else with it. I have two and they work great.

It may be a deal breaker for me. If not, maybe I can buy one from you and let you go through the ordering process again since you have mastered it.

Come on, that is a little funny....

I wonder how the PRS shooters using the 6BR handle the magazine issue?

PS yes it was a little funny

This is the easy way:

The article has a link to another, which explains how to modify a .308 pattern mag to work also.

MDT sells a metal AICS pattern magazine for the 6mm precision cartridges. They list it as being compatible with the 6BR Norma, 6mm BRA, 6mm BRX, and 6mm Dasher. I assume a fair number of PRS shooters are using a chassis with AICS mags.

Thanks for those.

I happen to have bottom metal for AICS pattern mags.
