spanner Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 You would be better with a 243 or 6.5 for that application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3_richy Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 That ^^ keep the hornet and get a 6 or 6.5 for 600 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furyan Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Got 6.5x47 just wanted another rifle for longish range vermin Just fancy the 223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3_richy Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 If its a bit of a case of another rifle for the sake of it then sure, fast twist .223 flinging 69s or heavier? Ackley perhaps. If less concerned with barrel life, stuff like 22BR, 22CM would probably be fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factory rifle then Tikka with 1/8. Save the cost of exotic custom build calibres and spend it on stock upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
