6mm remington

yote_dude · 03-04-2005, 10:24 PM

does anyone still make a gun in this caliber? im thinking remington used to make a high end 700 varmint rifle, but my dealer says he is unable to find one. anything else made for this round? ive always wanted a 6mm, just to be a bit different. i know balistically its similar to the 243, but everyone has one of those!

remington makes one in I believe there VLS and ruger makes one in their light weight model 77 other then that i dont know of anyone else making one kinda stinks because i was really wanting a 6mm but i dont care for rugers and that remington is just too expensive for my blood. I was told to keep an eye out for used guns in that caliber and thats about the only other way to get a 6mm

yea the 243 killed the 6mm market because factory loaded 6mm is more expensive then 243, but being a reloader the 6mm is a much more versatile cartridge especially with a 6mm you can push a 55 grain bullet well over 4000 fps and the 243 just barely pushes a 55 grain bullet over the 4000 fps mark.

Are you two people, HDW? Or split personality? Those two posts deffinatly felt like two different people.

6mm would set you apart from the pack, that's for sure.

Yote, Remington still makes the 6mm in the VLS model. Varmint-Laminated Stock. This is the heavy barrel model with no sights. I purchased my 6mm in 76 and it is one of my favorites. Exceptional long range caliber.

Well I figured since they were only 4 minutes apart that you would use the edit button.

Sorry 'bout that.
