I'd like to have Shilen make a barrel for my Model 11FHNS in a 6mm Remington. Its currently chambered for a .243. My only concern is whether or not the Model 11 short action is long enough for a 6mm chambering. I believe the 6mm Remington is approx 2 tenths of an inch longer than a .243 case. Would this be doable? The Savage "short action" **looks** to be a little longer than most other short actions. I've read where many recommend a long action in a .270 chambering for this one. But, I'm not wanting to buy another rifle.

Thanks,

Mark
