New 6mm gt

[Tim-o-thy]

So like the title says I’ve decided to pull the trigger on a 6gt. I ordered a proof 7.5 twist comp contour, and I have a badger bottom metal and mcmillian a6 prs stock ready to go. I also have a trued Remington 700 with a small firing pin and m16 extractor, but that was supposed to mated with a proof 6.5 carbon barrel for a hunting style rifle. My question is should I run that remmy on my 6gt or buy a new action, if so which one. I want something new I have/had defiance, Stiller, and a alamo precision action. I need opinions of which and why.

Have a look at Terminus.

This was one of the main designers behind Curtis actions. He’s left and taken & improved the Curtis action. His turnaround times are very quick. You can hear more on this podcast.

Very nice looking actions with some cool features. He should do well.

What's the intended purpose of the rifle?

What's the intended purpose of the rifle?

Practical shooting? I don’t compete but do enjoy testing myself off barricades and differ t positions. I currently shoot a a6 stocked bra and when I’m lazy and don’t want to load a 6.5 creed in an A5

 

[FatBoy]

If it was me and I had the action in hand, I would use it. You're not trying to shoot bugholes off a bench, I suspect you'd be well served running the M700 and putting the $1300 you'd spend on an action into reloading components and barrels.

For a repeater, Atlas for $999... A guy at the club has one and he likes it better than his Panda.

 

[Nightraider]

Remington 700 action @ $218
Recoil lug @ $35
PTG Cone bolt @ $375
New barrel @ $365
Chamber/ thread @ $300

You're not going to find a better cheaper option than that recipe.

 

[ToddKS]

I have nothing but good things to say about my Impact Precision action. Very satisfied with it. I shoot PRS style matches and am on my 3rd barrel now for it.

I wouldn't give a nickel for a ptg bolt.

 

[Nightraider]

I wouldn't give a nickel for a ptg bolt.

I'm glad you wouldn't, but a cone bolt is the way to go and they're the only dealer on the corner.

 

[Kings X]

A coned bolt repeater??.

 

[urbanrifleman]

I'm glad you wouldn't, but a cone bolt is the way to go and they're the only dealer on the corner.

All of my main rifles are Remington 700 and 40X rifles and not a single one of them has a coned Bolt. I had the ptg bolt in my 40 x and it was the worst running piece of crap and I was so glad the day I put it on eBay and sold it along with the barrel that went with it.

And if you have an oversized raceway.............?

Get a used Tikka 595/695 model

Get a used Tikka 595/695 model

Stock selection/price in my experience makes tikkas cost more than customs. And I already have a new mcmillian a6 prs for this rifle

Sleeve it! The bolt that is.

Over buying a ptg bolt?

 

[bradb]

I have a coned PTG bolt in a model 7 repeater, bdl, runs great, feeds 7-08 great. 6br cases need to be positioned in mag right for good feeding, when that barrel is on it. Its a super light weight rifle. Why coned, I have not idea it seemed fun at the time! Works great but not sure i would do again

 

[DDRH65PRC]

I have a Terminus Zeus on order. Got a bbl ready for it. MTU 22". I like the quick switch bbl setup on the Zeus. These are 3 lug push feed, 60° bolt throw.

Also have a couple of American Rifle Company Nucleus' SA both 6.5 PRC. CRF is nice as is the shorter bolt throw (72°?). Also got their Archimedes in LA flavor for a 300 PRC...just got that bbl delivered. 25" M24 profile. Archimedes is CRF too.

Also check out Big Horn. CRF but 2 lug instead of 3 like the Nucleus and Archimedes. Bolt heads, i believe are swappable between all of their actions models.
