[QUOTE="novaman64, post: 322931, member: 16158"] Get a 260 or 260ai. Its not gonna have the harsh recoil you want (why the heck would you want recoil anyways) but its gonna do everything else you want. If you can get a Berger 140vld 6.5mm bullet going 2800 at the muzzle you still have 979 ft/lb of energy and 1775fps at 800 yards. At 1000 yards your only dropping 277.98 inches from a 100 yard zero and still doing 1555 fps with 751 ft/lbs of energy. And your not dropping below the speed of sound till a little past 1450 yards... Not to mention it will still feed out of the box mag so your not going to be single loading or having problems extracting a loaded round either.... Keep the bolt face an action the way it is now and throw a new barrel on it chambered in 260 or 260ai.... [/QUOTE]
