[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2032945, member: 12170"] For my money I went with a 260 Remington. I am getting 2900-2950 FPS out of a 25" barrel. That is 6.5x284 velocities in a short action magazine fed rifle. Admittedly, this barrel is still new in my book, and I do not know how long it will last at this speed. Now that Lapua is making 260 brass, I don't believe I would ever consider the 6.5x47 anymore. The cartridge does not have the boiler room of the 260. Accuracy is .5moa or better (5 rounds) off of a bipod depending on how well one can shoot. Another real advantage, at least for me, is if they stop making either cartridge I can form 260 from 243 or the popular 308. Unless you already have a Remington action, I would consider a custom action before building on a Remington. For a few dollars more you are getting an action that was manufactured true, instead of spending money to make the action true. Look at Surgeon or Defiance Machine.
