Rem 700 6BR

[Kracken McGraw]

I have the Redding Type-S neck-only and full-length dies. When I switched over to full-length sizing every time I thought my neck-only die would languish untouched. However, I have found it very useful to resize the neck tension when I pull a batch of bullets for whatever reason.

I recently wanted to do a new round of seating depth testing for my three Silhouette loads on my aging barrel. I had 15-30 rounds of each load left over from the season so I was able to pull the bullets using the Hornady cam-lock puller, resize the neck on the still-filled cases, then reseat the bullets long for use with the Wilson inline seater and arbor press at the range. Without resizing the neck there was almost no neck tension after pulling the bullets.

It may be an infrequent use case but it still comes in handy!

That’s a very good point. Another tool in the box is always handy.

I went and looked over my 30-06 this afternoon. I see what you all are talking about with the long action. It really won’t work well unless I single feed. Which wouldn’t be the end of the world. But would be a nuisance.

I really want a 6br, but don’t have a ton of money to spend to get there. I do have a 700 in .308 that would be a pretty good donor, but then my only .308 is my m1a.

I have a spare McMillan T3x stock. Maybe I can find a cheap donor Tikka at the show this weekend.

One way or another, I’m going to put together a 6br.

I just have to figure out how I want to get there.

I saw that you got that. Sounds like a heck of a good deal!

Now you need one of these stocks for your new barreled action.

 

[J_Hensley]

Buying the barreled action doesn’t really scratch my itch to put something together myself. But the action I’m buying is much better than what I have, with the aftermarket bolt release and bolt with m16 extractor.

I will however have to source a stock, trigger and scope for this. That’s a problem for another day.

Howdja do at the gun show?

Well since I decided last night to buy that barreled action, I decided to forgo the trip to the gunshow.
I’m taking my Wife to Disney World next month. I have to mind my spending so I can spoil her.

You know Josh that’s the other thing I like about this forum, you can stroll through the marketplace here in a easy chair and still see better stuff than what’s at a gun show.

 

[joshb]

I think you made a good choice. You bought a nice start to your mission.

Yup! I just have to resist the urge to buy stuff I “don’t need”. I saw that barreled action but I already have 4 guns in 6br. I was thinking about offering up one of mine but just couldn’t do it. Each one is a little different.

 

[J_Hensley]

I am pleased with my decision. I guess now I can experiment with some light -06 loads. Or maybe in the future do a 25-06.

At some point I just need to shoot what I have and stop piling rifles into my safe.

…or maybe I can talk you into trying a 6.5 x 55 Swede?
Shooting what you have is a great idea. Sometimes I wish I had stopped buying new guns years ago. Here I sit today with safes full of guns I don’t have the time to shoot.
Get into that 6br to scratch your itch. Buying that barreled action saved you a lot of time. It can keep you entertained for quite a while.

 

[J_Hensley]

My new years resolution should be to buy less and shoot more. Let’s see how that goes.

 

[J_Hensley]

The barreled action is on its way.
I ordered an MDT 6BR AICS mag and a bottom metal today.
I likely won't decide on a stock for a few months. I might just toss it in a spare OE stock for the time being.
It might be a while until I get everything together. I'd like to eventually put a nice high powered scop on it.
Variable would be great, but a fixed power would probably be fine for me. I'm not usually shooting multiple distances.

The easy at home solution is a barrel Vice, action wrench and a barrel set up for a barrel nut.

I can tell you the 6BR or 6BRA will probably put a smile on your face.
It’s a fantastic cartridge.

6BRX just load and shoot to FF.

I have a router and i’m not afraid to use it.

WELL!! Do I have something for you to do!
Go down into the Gunsmithing section and look for my “Do it yourself stockmaking “ thread and read thru it.

I’ve been through it, even contributed. I’ve seen the blanks offered in the classifieds. Contemplating that challenge. Just not sure if I’m up to the task.

Bah! A teenager could do it!
