I'd say it's 18mm too long. Probably too long for the 99 as well. |

| A .260 Rem will fit. What distance are you planning to shoot it? The Swedes shot their 6.5x55 Mausers at pretty long distances with open sights. |

| I think the Swede would be too long also. 6.5 Creedmoor is a shade under 49mm. Very nice action you have there. |

| I have a 260 AAR in a Type 38 Arisaka. It feeds properly. The 260 AAR is a 6.5/257 Roberts blown out. With proper loading and at least a 24 inch barrel, velocities will be close to a 25/o6. Either the 260 AAR or 6.5/267 Roberts would be a good conversion, subject to your intended use. Geoff
