Can anyone give me an idea of cost on a barrel swap? We have a gunsmith vacuum in this area. The rifle is an older Ruger MK1, I just put it in a shortened stock for my daughter. She handles recoil well, but I really like those long 6.5mm bullets. I already load for 7mm RM, 30/06, and 6.5X55 so another set of dies would be about the only thing I need. Lt. Robert J.

very roughly Douglas barrel blank.................$200 chamber, fit, thread, crown et all...$175 bluing...............................$100 prices vary a lot so look around While this isn't a terribly unusual chambering, it's non standard and many smiths will not have a reamer for it. This may drive the price up for a custom reamer. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Check ITD http://www.itdcustomgun.com/ I've had them short chamber several barrels. I think a Douglas installed blued(Matt) is a little over $300 A 7x57 would be a great option as well. My wife uses hers for everything from coyote to elk and Africa last year. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

....or just down load the '06 to 30-40 Krag levels. Recoil reduction is the main thing you are after. Keith IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

A 6.5-06 is just so much FUN!! There is a boatload of reloading data available for it, and it IS the "thinking man's .270!" I've had three of them and enjoyed the living daylights out of them until someone at the range spotted it and wanted the rifle more than I did, especially after the handloading issues had all been resolved with that particular rifle. Go for the 6.5-06 !! | |||

The easiest 6.5 conversion would be to make a 6.5x55 Swede. I own one and the recoil is pretty much nill - it just goes boom real loud and knocks deer over. Plus, factory ammo is usually available at most of the larger retail sporting goods places in case you accidentally leave your handloads at home. Jason "Chance favors the prepared mind." | |||
