Who can build me a 6br an 22br repeater?

[mattlewis]

I have fallen in love with 6br, and want to build a deer rifle on the cartridge in the worst way. I'd also really like to have a 22br.

I have a savage 16 action and a model 7 action, and may possibly be open to a custom action if it didn't break the bank.

I am open to all bottom metal configs, but it must feed reliably under all conditions.

I have read all there is to read on getting one to feed, and it doesn't sound very promising, but I figured if anybody could do it, somebody here would know about it.

I want a 6mmBR repeater as well, and one person told me they bought a Howa 243 Winchester, changed the barrel out to a 6mmBR, and it fed fine. See here and other threads.

Remove this topic from here and re-post it in the "Main Message Board ".

You will get a lot more feedback.

Take a look at the listed gunsmiths under the "smiths" tab on the left side of the Accurate Shooter home page. Take care

Catshooter can do it. He said there is no problem getting the short cases to feed out of a Remington action. ;D ;D ;D

Ok this is way easy to do. I have 2 6brs that both repeat out of a mag. They are built on Pierce actions. Short action with a coned bolt and it feeds out of a modified AI 308 Mag. Mag modifiaction is easy cut about 3/8" off the front of the follower then bolt or rivit a spacer in the front of the mag to make the inside length of the mag shorter. Any thicker of a shim and it will hit the spring. I aslo have a couple budies that have done this after my first one they all work great. The first rifle has about 3500 rnds thru it and no issues. Any questions let me know.
