build me a 500yd ruger light rifle, 10lbs

[Evan03]

what do you think about ther 6.5/06 seeing as how you can find 270 and 3006 rifles used laying in street gutters and garbage cans everywhere.

so so easy to come up with a donor rifle in these calibers its not even funny.

or 6mm06 in my mind this is way to close to 2506. but then so is the 6mmrem or even the 243. 90-100gr bullets are very close in perfromance.

right now im not even pushn my 100gr bullets over 3250 out of my 2506.

ive also begun to consider this alight varmit rifle 22" barrel. as im sitn now i have two heavy weight 224 rifles. why do i need 3rd heavy varmit rifle. ??????
i like 22" barrels and the 6mm calibers they seem to be about the perfect do all size bullets.
would i miss the 4"s of barrel hell no i wouldnt. maybe i would if you told me 4"s less meant i was 1000fps slower.

but but. i could run 24" barrel pretty easy. i think 24"s is the best compromise when wanting a carry/vt rifle. i can honestly say ive never missed a few inches off any barrel nor have i noticed a few additional inches. i just dont shoot far enough or shoot through chronys enough to care i guess.

if i build custom the barrel is going to be 24"s fluted and have taper about like the remington sendero. itl actualy have the save taper. i like the taper alot.

the rifle will be built mainly for killing critters from 50-500yds as a maximum. ounce a good load is developed itl probly never punch paper again.
