What type of action for 6mmbr?

[GlennGTR1]

Ok so it will be a Remington 700 action but what caliber do I need to use to convert from?

 

[Cort]

It uses a ".308" bolt face so a .308, a .243, a 7mm-08, ...

So my goal is to build a light sporter weight tack driver for predators and varmints. A walking, highcountry rockchuck and mountain lion killer if you will

Well, I think you need a Savage in .308 or any other round that has a .308 head diameter.
That way you can build an accurate lightweight sporter, and you can install the 6BR barrel yourself as well. ;D

I completely concur Kenny! When I read an accurate firearm was required, Savage was my first thought as well All kidding aside, unless you are going to get a custom action for the build, Savage just makes all the sense in the world as they will not require truing like a Remington 700 action will and you can fit your own barrels with minimal tools and no gunsmith required. You can buy a NightForce NXS scope for the savings!

He specifically said remington action, 22-250 rem, 243 win, 6mm rem, 257 roberts, 260 rem, 7mm/08 rem, 308 win will all work.

he did say remington, and you do need one with a 308 dia. cartridge head to match the 6br. T.R.
