I agree here, I have the 6.5 GAP 4s (saum) and (2) 6.5-284 .all I shoot around 3000 ft/s .with a little tweking could get that velocity down. Choose a short action or long then you limit yourseld to which caliber. If I was getting another 6.5 right now it would be the PRC, manners stock, with...
I have just acquired from a friend a very nice rifle, he wants me to sell for him. Also I have another rifle if anyone is interested...
1) I do no know much about the Hammond rifle, I was told they are made in PA and are ridiculously accurate. Has only been shot 25 times barrel is super...
