Awesome forum!!!

I have been reading a LOT of threads on here about the .260 guns and specifically the 6.5x55

It seems like every question I have has been popping up in the search results..Very cool..I talked my spouse into funding my 40th B-Day present(a 6.5 build) and this forum has been very informative on the 6.5x55. I have been shooting and reloading since I was young but have been out of the "Shooting" scene for a while and this forum has got me all fired up about spending time at the range and at my friends gunsmithing shop.. Thanks for providing a great forum for folks that would have to spend 20+ years learning all of this stuff on their own. I'm sure I will have questions in the future but the search engine is working very good for now..Thanks for having me on the forum..Hank

And BTW hogginhank, welcome to the wonderful land of Accurate shooter 6mmbr

Thanks dtucker for the warm welcome. I haven't had a gun built since the early 90's so I think it's time to take the plunge again. I work for the FD and I'm off 20 days a month and all the meals I cook for my lady and taking care of the offspring has earned me a LOT of gold stars on the fridge chart

That's why I'm "Cashing In" on those points with this build. I'm not going to spend any crazy money but I think I will probably hit the $1300 range without optics. I was going to rebarrel my 6mm with a .260 barrel for a 260 but I decided on a 6.5 swede instead. Now I need to figure out if I'm going to find a used 700 long action or drop the $800+ for another custom action. I guess I need to search the forum a little more I ordered a rock creek barrel, have a possible stock already. Just have to work on getting input from folks about some options in my budget for a good action. My gunsmith buddy is going to do all the smithing. I can't wait to get it started. Adios' for now. Hank
