My 6.5x47 is in my humble opionion the best short action caliber i have ever owned. Im shooting 140 grain berger hybrids in an 8 twist lilja 28" barrel. It is a 1/2 moa rifle but would probably be better with a better shooter behind it. Im pushing the 140's 2800fps with rl17 behind it. It only drops 27.5 moa at sea level and bucks the wind somethin fierce! Light recoil and a light trigger make this one fun rifle.
