6 mm Remington rifle

[kochie]

Will Remington arms put the 6 mm Remington rifle back in production I hope so I would buy one if they did .

 

[Hotshot]

Probably not. Get a barrel from Urban or NSS for the action of your choice.
You will be better off in the end.

Kochie-

Howdy !

IMHO -
No… they won’t.

The 6mm Remington has had its decades “ in the Sun “.

Like the rival .243 Winchester…. newer whizz bang 6mms that have adequate case capacity & case features/dimensions today’s shooters often prefer; have displaced the former 6mm factory chamberings leaders. The .243 and 6mm Remington basically had more case capacity than the intervening years of shooter use has proven to actually be needed.

Moreover, the more-recent 6mm case designs have proven their worth.

With regards,

Ok thanks guys I just like the idea of the 6 mm Remington . I have a 243 and like it don’t get me wrong but to me the 6 mm Remington is better.

 

[Infrequent Shooter]

No, I don't think they will. But I have a stone mint condition, 244, 40x, early model, based on 722, single shot. Never fired it. Time capsule. Will sell for 2K. plus shipping etc. I hope no one wants to buy it, honestly.

 

[kochie]

Thanks for offer have to think about it got so many things on the burner right now.

 

[Infrequent Shooter]

I understand, very unique rifle. I would keep an eye out for a 722 in 6mm or 244. They are out there. Good luck.

I was lucky enough to buy a VLS in 6mm Remington before they were discontinued. It’s probably a rare chance but you might find one that hasn’t been shot a lot. If I wanted another I’d be sending a PM to Infrequent Shooter!

I picked up a Ruger No. 1 in 6mm many years ago and it has been my go-to deer and antelope rifle. The only reason it's taking a break this year is because I found a 722 in 257 Roberts that's got the nod.

 

[kochie]

Thanks guys I just think it’s a great little caliber.

I have a 6mm Rem AI and I wouldn't trade it for any other 6mm on earth. I'll always have one. Same goes for my 257 AI. Hornady is famous for reinventing the wheel

Built a 6 Remington 1000 yard Rifle years back.
Shooting D-Tacks back then, Tack Driver for 1200 round ?
I seem to remember 3015 Muzzle Speed, 30" Barrel

I inherited an early Rem 700 VS 6mm BDL from my father. I did all the handloading for him so I know the round count is about 200. It shot bug-holes with 100gr Speers & the now defunct Norma 205 powder. He bought it as an accurate deer rifle, but didn't hunt with it much because the weight of the heavy barrel was starting to bother him. I researched the rifle when I first inherited it & was surprised that it was a pretty rare rifle. IIRC, it has a 1:9 twist. All original except he had the stock professionally glass bedded. No pillars because it was before pillars became a "thing"! LOL

Last month I just rebarreled my rem 700 3006 to 6mm Rem Ackley Improved.
Just got the brass formed and started load development. Got .5 moa group at 200 yards with 105 Hybrids and 105 Hvld...at 3350 fps with Reloder 26.
Tomorrow I am trying N165.

I bought a VLS 6mm new in the late 90s and it was extremely accurate,, I shot it about 4000 times and traded it for a VSSF-II when the 204 came out.
I’ve got a Model 7 6mm still and it’s a shooter also

The biggest issue with factory barreled Remingtons (SA) is limited magazine length and twist rate. The early ones were 12 twist and limited you to 85-90gr flat base bullets. Later versions may have had 9 1/4 twist but seating longer bullets ate up powder space (deep seating).

Agreed,. the 6MM Creed and the awesome 6 XC, ARE Better "Choices" if wanting Cart, IN,.. a "Short Action"

I’ve got a Remington 660 in 6mm Remington. I’ll make someone a heck of a deal.

I've had 2 700 Rem. in 6 Rem. both on long action 700's. No mag length problems ever with the long actions. 90 grn. Scirocco's are my favorite bullet. I like the 100 btsp Hornady also. I've had several 6 Rem. Imp bench guns and still have 1. With them all I've used H4831, H4831SC. I currently still have a 700 stainless in 6 Rem. on a long action that I still deer hunt with.
I also have had for years a Ruger #1 (1978) in 6 Remington that also likes H4831 not SC and 90 grn. Scirocco's. The 8 lb. jug of H4831 (not SC) has a price tag of $149.95. I've had it for quite a while.

I love the 6 Remington. I'm getting long in the tooth, and don't see any reason to add any new calibers to my collection. I have enough 6 Remington brass to last me the rest of my life.

Mr. Beach in the post above says to make an offer on the 660 he's got. I'm sure he will not lead you wrong.
The only way to get a new 6 Rem. would be to buy a new or used 700 and have someone re-barrel it for you.

Good luck, Waverly
