First of all thank y'all for dealing with my indecisiveness on my next rifle build and cartridges but I think I have narrowed it down to the caliber. I'm just going to stay with the 6mm since I already have a 6mm ARC. It makes sourcing components easier (bullets and primers). My next build is looking to be as follows:
Action: Probably a Kelby Nanook. If not it will be a lightweight SA in that weight range
Barrel: 18" Carbon from Preferred Barrel Blanks 1:7
Scope: Probably the NF NX6 2.5-12
Stock: Peak 44 Blacktooth
Suppressor: Airlock 6.5
Rings: Ruffs Precision (I got these on my Howa Mini and like them so far)
Bottom Metal: Hawkins Precision R700
Trigger: TriggerTech Special.
The rifle should be just shy of 8lbs outfitted. My goal with this rifle is to keep it between 7.5-8.5lbs. Mainly to have a nimble hunting rifle that isn't a pain to shoot. Still able to spot impacts to some extent, able to take anything in the lower 48 just fine, but also forget it is there when I am hiking up the mountain.
I really would like to shoot the 116 TMK from this and would like to hit at least 2600 fps MV. This should still put me at 1900 fps impact velocity at 500 yards around sea leavel (where I live) and plenty where I normally elk hunt. Is this doable with the 6mm GT or do I need to step up to the 6mm CM?
I really do appreciate everyone's input.
