Sitting in my deer stand all week gave me plenty of time to daydream and consider a new rifle for the upcoming Prairie Dog season. I have pretty much decided on an 8 twist 6mm BR and I have a Rem 700 action that has been trued and lapped sitting in the shop. I have a 6BR that I bought this year but it's a 14 twist and won't handle the higher BC bullets that I want for long distance shooting so I'll sell it to help fund my new project. I also have a Jewell trigger sitting in the shop and some 20 MOA Leupold mounts. Sunday night I ordered a stock and it should be here by Friday. Now I have to run down to the local Gunsmith and give him my first born son and all my hard earned cash. I'll use the scope I have on my current 6BR so that will save me some bucks. The new rifle will look just like this old one except it will have a 28 inch barrel.
