Anyone use a Stiller Predator in 6mmBR as a Repeater?

[65BR]

Needing any first hand info on anyone using a standard 6mm BR chambered in a Stiller action and functioning as a repeater.

Thanks.

Well, I don't have one in a predator, but I do have a 700 repeater,and the predator is a 700 clone, this may be relevant). I have my 6br set up as a calling rifle, hence have it as a repeater. With the "Bryant conversion" I have no troubles feeding with 3 in the magazine,I'd say its 99%). Four will fit, but the spring gets tight & "pops" out the 1st round. I have yet to need the extra case with the br

I have a predator in the mail as we speak. I am planning to build a 22BRX repeater with it also.

65Br,

I have a Stiller Predator repeater in 6BR. I did the Bryant magazine conversion too, works very well.

I also have 6.5x47 Lap. Imp. barrel and currently doing a 20 Vartarg.

6.5x47 L was my first choice, but concerns about 'out the box' brass quality reports worry me, and I am w/o a BR at the moment.....had a repeating 7BR that was a favorite of mine.

May have to do a Bryant Conversion, did you all use stock 700 mags, or aftermarket?

I used the Wyatt box for the 6.5x47 and Rem. for the 6BR

The Wyatt actually fits the Predator action better.,longer than standard)

I don't have the Stiller action.. but I used a Rem action in a Eliseo R5 repeater tube gun.. shoots fantastic!

 

[65BR]

I read about some tube guns running single stack mags, did well it seems. I am looking to build a combo hunting gun and one I can shoot accurately at the range. 6BR and 65x47L are my top two choices for now and I have brass/dies/bullets for the 6....so....but the 47Lapua is very tempting, very...one concern is that it seems some have had lackluster comments on brass - weight and neck consistency.

Sunbuilder, would you say the Rem box is preferred if going 6BR? What is your 6BR set up for, and 47? Trying to decide what barrel contour to go with....gunsmith I may use, likes to use Hart, and he is a benchshooter, no reason to believe it would not be a great bbl.
