i'm planning on getting one of the special runs of the remington 7600 , the calibers i've narrowed it down to are the 7mm-08 , and the 6mm remington , now keep in mind i've allready got a .243 , .25-06 , .30-06 and .280 remingtons , and this will just be a collector piece in a caliber that i don't allready have , allthough i will shoot it ( it's not a piece for collector value , just adding to the collection . your thoughts on caliber please please ???

Since you already have the .243 I’d go with the 7mm-08 or if you reload you can use the same bullets for the 6 mm and the .243 . I have both cartridges you’re thinking about and enjoy shooting them both. Good luck...

I would get the 6MM Remington myself. Thats one of my favorite calibers. Either would be a fun caliber to shoot. I love the 7600 Remington anyway.

thanks for the replies , i'm kind of leaning towards the 6mm remington , as it's not offerd in very many rifles anymore , i also like the 7mm-08 because it's a good deer cartridge , eventhough the last rifle i had it in was a real lemon in my opinion , it was one of the first 7mm-08 remington m700 mountain rifle dm's , and that clip didn't feed worth **** , and it made a very tinny rattling noise , once again , any and all replies are appreciated and i welcome anymore replies and any debate as well but , i've got to be honest with you , i've never had a 6mm remington before , i know it's history but i don't have any experience with it. so i'm kind of at a dissadvantage in debating that cartridge but , i'll try. keep'em coming guys

Ya know, I like the 6mm remington. It was a misunderstood cartrige and is very capable. I have a 243 and only prefer it for the plentiful ammo. Besides, 7mm08 couldnt kill a misquito!
A little humor there for ballistically challanged!

6mm. I've got one in the rem model seven and love it. It's a killer too.

When you said "collector piece" the 6mm was the firstI thought of...
